Unit price perBOLD TEXTURE. WARM CHARACTER.
The Rocco Chair in Marlo Fabric is designed to bring warmth, texture and sculptural presence into contemporary interiors.
Defined by its oversized proportions and relaxed low-profile silhouette, Rocco creates an inviting statement while maintaining a calm architectural feel. Upholstered in Wheat, a rich earthy golden tone layered with warm caramel, ochre and soft brown undertones, the chair introduces warmth, depth and personality into the space.
The Marlo fabric features a chunky boucle-inspired weave created through interwoven coarse and fine yarns, giving the surface a richly textured tactile finish with strong dimensional character. Flecks of tonal variation throughout the weave create movement and visual softness, while the heavier texture enhances the sculptural form of the chair.
Generously cushioned with a relaxed oversized seat, Rocco is designed for slow mornings, reading corners and relaxed everyday living. Its low sculptural silhouette works beautifully within tonal, contemporary and layered interiors.
The Wheat colourway pairs effortlessly with walnut timbers, olive tones, travertine, chocolate browns and warm contemporary palettes.
Relaxed comfort, designed to stand out quietly.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
about rocco
Choosing furniture online is a big decision. We've brought together the questions we're asked most often, along with everything you need to know about comfort, fabrics, care and construction, so you can feel confident you're choosing the right piece for your home.
Before You Buy
Rocco is designed to be more than an occasional chair. Generous proportions, supportive comfort and a sculptural silhouette create a piece that's every bit as enjoyable to sit in as it is to look at. Its soft curves and timeless design allow it to work beautifully across contemporary, relaxed and classic interiors, making it a chair you'll enjoy for years to come.
Although generously proportioned, Rocco's low profile helps keep rooms feeling open and balanced. It works beautifully beside a sofa, in a bedroom, reading nook or quiet corner, adding warmth and character without overwhelming the space.
Absolutely. Rocco has been designed for the way people actually relax. A generous seat depth, supportive medium-firm cushioning and relaxed proportions make it ideal for reading, watching TV, enjoying your morning coffee or simply putting your feet up at the end of the day.
At 650mm deep, Rocco offers a more relaxed sitting position than many occasional chairs. The extra depth allows you to curl up comfortably or simply settle in for longer periods without feeling perched. It's a subtle design detail that makes a noticeable difference to everyday comfort.
Rocco is available in two carefully selected upholstery collections.
Marlo is available in Barley, Wheat and Oxide. It offers a beautifully soft, textured weave that brings warmth and subtle character to your space.
Strata is available in Ivy. Its richer woven texture creates additional depth and a more layered appearance while remaining soft and comfortable for everyday living.
Both fabrics have been selected for their quality, durability and timeless appeal. The right choice simply comes down to the look and feel you'd like to create in your home.
Every Rocco fabric has been carefully curated to work effortlessly with the wider Franka collection and a broad range of interiors.
Barley and Wheat create a softer, lighter palette, while Oxide introduces warmth and richness. Ivy offers a deeper, more grounded look with subtle texture.
If you're unsure which option is right for your home, we'd love to help. We can also provide fabric samples so you can see the colours in your own space before making your decision.
Fabric Guide
Marlo is a beautifully textured upholstery fabric designed for everyday living. Soft to the touch yet highly durable, its woven finish adds warmth and depth while helping disguise the signs of daily use. It's a fabric chosen to look good and perform well for years to come.
Strata is a richly textured woven upholstery fabric with a soft, tactile finish. Designed for everyday living, it brings warmth, depth and subtle character to a space while offering the durability needed for busy homes.
Yes. Both fabrics are designed to handle the realities of everyday life. Their textured weaves help soften the appearance of minor marks and everyday wear while remaining comfortable, durable and easy to live with.
Both Marlo and Strata are suitable for most homes with pets. However, as textured woven fabrics, they can catch on sharp claws. If your pets regularly scratch furniture, we'd recommend considering our Roy chair upholstered in smooth Electra velvet, which is better suited to homes with scratching pets.
If you're unsure which upholstery is right for your lifestyle, our team is always happy to help.
Regular vacuuming with an upholstery attachment will help keep the fabric looking fresh. For spills, blot gently with a clean damp cloth as soon as possible and avoid rubbing. Professional upholstery cleaning from time to time will help keep your chair looking its best for years to come.
Both Marlo and Strata are designed to perform well in everyday living. Their beautiful woven texture is part of what gives them their character, however like any woven upholstery they do require a little extra care. Jewellery, rough clothing, sharp objects and pet claws can all catch the weave. Looking after the fabric will help preserve its texture and appearance so your chair continues to look beautiful for years to come.
Both fabrics offer excellent colour fastness for everyday living. As with all upholstered furniture, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may cause fading over time. Positioning your chair away from harsh afternoon sun or using window furnishings during peak sunlight will help preserve its colour.
Absolutely. Professional upholstery cleaning is a great way to refresh the fabric and help extend the life of your chair whenever needed.
