A deep, floor-hugging chair with a gathered cover that folds along the back, presented as an illustrative example. You can change its finish and choose leather or fabric before sending a quote request.
Low lounge chairs are bought for a mood as much as a function. Black leather by a fire suggests a classic den; cream or moss feels relaxed and contemporary. The gathered upholstery makes material a large part of that character. Leather folds into heavy creases that soften with use, while fabric holds smaller, gentler pleats. Buyers are choosing that texture as much as the colour.

What you can configure
Each swatch shows the chair in its own finish: black leather, cognac, cream and moss, from a range of six. The leather or fabric choice is recorded in the summary but does not swap the image yet. On a pleated chair it should in production, because the folds sit differently in each material. Two of the finish names already imply leather, so the range also needs clear rules on what a fabric version is called.

Why a configurator suits lounge chairs
Leather lounge chairs are a high-consideration purchase. Buyers often visit a showroom to sit in one, then go home and agonise over the finish. A configurator lets them continue that decision at home, with every finish photographed in the same light, and bring a saved build back to the shop. Staff then pick up exactly where the customer left off.
Twelve possible chairs sit behind six finishes and two covers, and several of those pairings may not exist. Showing only valid combinations, with the cover named on every order line, protects a made-to-order workshop from building a fabric chair that the customer expected in leather. Cognac in fabric, for instance, may simply not be an option.
Leather also ages. Cognac darkens and develops patina, while cream shows wear sooner. A configurator page is a sensible place to explain that next to each finish, so the buyer chooses with realistic expectations. That honesty does more to prevent complaints than any amount of retouched photography. It also gives sales staff an honest answer to repeat in store.
How a production version would be built
Because the pleats change with material, I would render or photograph each finish in its actual cover rather than recolouring one image. A digital recolour of leather onto a fabric chair looks wrong at the folds. That means one image per valid pairing, plus a close detail of the gathered back. Hide and fabric references, the finishes available in each and care notes form the product data. Orders can go to a quote, a Shopify or WooCommerce basket, or a saved configuration the customer brings into the showroom.
Build sheet for this range
- Colours in the full range: 6 (4 shown in this demo)
- Cover choices: 2
- Combinations to support: 6 × 2 = 12
- Images for one photograph per combination at 3 angles: 36
- Images if covers can be shown as separate layers, at 3 angles: 24
- Data each of the 12 combinations needs: a SKU or variant ID, price, stock or lead time, and any dimensions or specification that change
Questions about lounge chair configurators
Can we recolour one photo instead of shooting every leather and fabric version?
On flat surfaces, sometimes. On a chair with deep gathered folds, it rarely works. Leather and fabric crease differently, and the highlights on leather follow the pleats. Recolouring one material to imitate the other looks artificial up close, so shooting or rendering each real pairing is the safer route.
How do we show customers how a leather finish will age?
Add a short note and, where possible, an aged sample image beside each leather finish. Cognac and lighter hides change visibly over a few years. Saying so openly helps buyers who want patina and warns those who expect the chair to stay exactly as photographed.
Can a customer save a chair online and bring it into the showroom?
Yes. The configuration saves to a short link or QR code that staff open on a tablet in store. Your sales team sees the exact finish and cover the customer chose, and can take the order without re-keying anything or asking them to start again.
Should the configurator show seat height and depth for a low chair?
It should. Low lounge chairs vary a lot in seat height and depth, and many buyers check whether they can get out of one comfortably. Putting dimensions and a side profile in the configurator, rather than in a buried specification tab, answers that question before it becomes a return.
