Rise and recliner chair that isn't butt-ugly

Hi. This is possibly one of the less challenging issues on this thread, but I hope I might get some ideas. My father needs a rise and recliner - well, really more of a rise - armchair. At 92 he can't get off the sofa and has to perch on a hard dining chair. My mother is reluctant to accept that her careful and tasteful arrangement of furniture needs to make way for his daily comfort needs.

Can anyone recommend a supplier of such chairs that aren't really clumpy and ugly? Am I searching for a unicorn?

This doesn’t look huge

Certainly better than this type thing!

Or a lifting cushion so he can keep the sofa? Seems Daft when it’s as costly as an actual chair though.
