Claudia Swivel Chair

The Claudia Swivel Chair is a curved accent chair in cream boucle, with a 360 degree swivel base and a plush back pillow. The slightly raised inset base gives it a floating look. It measures 100cm wide and 65cm high.

A swivel is more useful in a living room than people expect. It lets one chair serve two purposes, turned towards the television one evening and towards the conversation the next, without anyone dragging furniture across the floor.

The inset base is a design decision worth noticing. By setting it back and raising it slightly, the chair appears to hover rather than sit flat, which lightens what is otherwise a generously proportioned piece. Boucle is a textural fabric, all loops and depth, so it reads soft and catches light unevenly. Some people love that; others prefer a smooth weave that shows the shape of the frame more cleanly. The back pillow is plush rather than firm, so this is a chair for settling into.
