English term or phrase: plush armchair
descrizione di stanze di un resort, "each room has a *plush armchair* in the seating area"

poltrona "in felpa" non mi convince, secondo me si intende più poltrona morbida/confortevole...

grazie!

neutral  MariaGrazia Pizzoli: Mah, non so. Perchè il tessuto felpato dovrebbe essere sic et simpliciter anche elegante? Sì, ma c'è qualcosa che non mi torna: è elegante il tessuto o l'oggetto rivestito da quel tessuto? Diresti... in elegante cotone? Lana caprina? :-)))

  -> Vero, Maria G., occorre invertire: "elegante poltrona felpata/in tessuto felpato", non avevo capito subito cosa volevi dire, ma hai ragione, certo... :)) Ho contorto la frase ed è uscita male... :((

agree  zerlina: ottimo! Mi ricorda un'infanzia in paesi dove si usa questa espressione,(e questo tipo di stoffa per rivestire) il 'peluche' non è tanto elegante, ma portatore di un'idea di 'cosy':-)

poltrona in velluto


Explanation:
secondo me è in velluto e non in felpa - al massimo direi "in tessuto felpato".
Se posso suggerirti una cosa, cerca l'immagine su google, poi "staccati" dal testo originale e chiediti come la chiameresti tu in italiano. Molte volte funziona =D

lussuosa, soffice poltrona


Explanation:
plush indicata tanto "di lusso" (cfr. http://www.wordreference.com/enit/plush) quanto "soffice" (cfr. http://www.ehow.com/about_5397833_plush-mattress-vs-pillowto... Vedi tu se è necessario, nel contesto, esplicitare tutte e due gli aggettivi o solo uno.
