The pinnacle of our upholstery range, the Idler is a beautifully versatile armchair design inspired by an Edwardian sofa that Nix has in her kitchen. The perfect combination of style, comfort, and durability, the beauty of the Idler lies in its refreshingly simple silhouette that allows it to be dressed up or down to suit a wide range of settings, from the kitchen to the drawing room.
Made by skilled craftspeople at our maker in Derbyshire, its effortlessly refined appearance belies the sturdy construction within, including a handcrafted beech frame and bespoke coil-sprung mesh-top seats that you can sink into.

Beautifully Useful
Over the twenty years that our interior design studio has been in business, we’ve found it hard to find pieces that meet our exacting requirements of purpose, provenance and price; a side table of a particular scale, the perfect floor lamp or kitchen pendants that work just so. NiX by Nicola Harding was created to bring these beautifully useful but hard-to-find pieces to life.
Designed by our award-winning founder, Nicola Harding, and tried and tested in our interior design projects, our furniture, lighting and made-to-order upholstery collections are designed to layer easily into your home. Refined yet reassuringly familiar.
Made to Last
At NiX by Nicola Harding, quality and craftsmanship are at the heart of everything we do. Each piece in our collection is made by our trusted network of skilled craftspeople in the UK and Europe using traditional techniques and responsibly sourced materials.
Our upholstery is made to order at a factory in Derbyshire, England, which has been crafting fine furniture for over 60 years, while our furniture and lighting is made by craftspeople in Europe at factories with whom our studio has long-standing relationships.
From the carefully constructed beech hardwood frames of our upholstery to the hand-mixed paint we use to make our wallpapers, every element of each product is carefully considered to ensure that each piece can be well-loved and well-used for years to come.
Responsibly Crafted
From the type of materials we use to our packaging and beyond, we strive to make responsible choices. We make products that create a positive legacy for homes, the community and the environment.
As much as possible, we use natural fibres and yarns that are sustainably sourced and are biodegradable. All of our cotton and linen fabrics are made using organic fibres while our intelligent velvets are made from 60% recycled yarns.
Our wallpapers are printed on unocated paper using water-based inks and we only use FSC Certified wood in our furniture. As part of our efforts to foster a kinder, gentler and more responsible way of living, we have developed services that facilitate the recycling of packaging and products.
