The chair that joins a conversation

A chair can change a seating group without changing the sofa. Begin by asking what happens when another person joins the room.
Turn an existing chair slightly towards the sofa and sit in both places. Check whether you can look at each other comfortably and reach a useful surface. A perfect symmetrical plan is less useful than a group that supports an ordinary conversation.
Keep the route through the room clear with the seats occupied. Do not place a light cable across the new path. If the chair has a good job here, its colour can connect through one small textile rather than a matching furniture set.
