Winona Occasional Chair - Ore Speckle

The Winona Occasional Chair in Ore Speckle is 95cm wide, 89cm deep and 75cm high, upholstered on a swivel base. It turns on the spot, so one chair faces the television, the fire or the room without being moved. At 95cm wide it is a chair and a half rather than a single.

A swivel solves a problem that comes up in almost every living room: the chair that has to face two things. A fixed chair is pointed at the television and turned away from the conversation, or the reverse. A swivel chair is aimed at whichever is happening.

At 95cm wide and 89cm deep this is a large chair, and the footprint is what makes it comfortable enough to be chosen over the sofa. Allow clearance all round, since a swivel needs room to turn without hitting a side table.

The caveat is the mechanism. A swivel base cannot be levelled the way four feet can, so on an uneven floor it will rock slightly, and it is the one part of the chair that can eventually need attention.
