At Ampersand we consider ourselves a team of regular book worms, so it's not surprising that we take every opportunity to incorporate cozy reading spaces into our projects whenever possible. Good design means utilizing all spaces efficiently...which can sometimes require a bit of creativity. Enter: the reading nook. Whether it's a comfy chair & floor lamp or a built-in bench, the idea is to take an underused space and create a moment where comfort blends with function and you can escape to for a little me time.

We all could use a little arm chair R&R, whether it's for a cup of coffee in the AM, a good couple hours of diving into your latest novel before bedtime, or a full-on scrolling sesh. We fully endorse any and all reading nook activities in which you choose to partake (naps included!).

At a recent trade show, our team found ourselves drawn like magnets to the broad selection of cozy seating options featured on display by our top vendors. Each of the seats in this collection have been personally test-driven by the booties of Ampersand and carry the quality construction of our trusted trade lines! We've gathered our favorites picks into a shoppable collection for you below.
