hemen yanlarında, çoktan dağılmış bir fiskos takımının yaşayan son üyesi, hüzünlü bir koltuk.

hemen[ just,right] yan [side,next] + ları [their] + n + da [on] --> right next to them

yaşayan son üyesi  ---> [ literally] its last  member  that is living [ the surviving member]

dağılmış  ---> extinct, gone, scattered

* the function of suffix ´-mIş ´ is ; it makes adjective out of some verbs. [Verbal-adjective]

 Verb stem +  mIş

  dağıl  + mış

  çürü  + müş  ---> rotten

  tüken + miş   ---> exhausted, extinct

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 çoktan ---> long time ago, long ago, already

 hüzünlü  ---> sad , gloomy, melancolic

 fiskos --> small table [coffee table] in talking language

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE : The writer is humanising the materials by giving them human qualities [ yaşamak, hüzünlü, son üyesi]

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So the final sentence would be ;

 

Right [just] next to them, [there is] a sad armchair which is a last surviving [living] member of  a coffee table set that has extinct [gone] long time ago.
