Swivel chair: points to check before buying

A swivel chair allows you to change the orientation of your seat. To choose the right one, start with its place in the room: facing the sofa, near a bookcase, or in a reading corner. The upholstery and silhouette come next, once the volume and circulation have been verified.

Chair dimensions and rotation space

The width, depth, and height indicated on a product sheet describe the furniture; they do not describe all the space required for turning and sitting. Mark the width and depth on the floor with masking tape, then locate the wall, the coffee table, and the neighboring furniture.

The Sculpt Chair in green chenille velvet measures 55 × 55 × 78 cm according to its product sheet. It features a cylindrical seat, a separate backrest, and a round chrome base, without armrests. The Coquille Royale, in red velvet, is wider: approximately 115 × 95 × 85 cm. These two formats do not require the same placement.

Choosing upholstery based on your use

Compare the fabric with the frequency of use and the ease of maintenance you are looking for. Bouclé has a raised texture, while velvet is a surface whose appearance varies with the light. A light color and a marked texture require specific attention to stains and dust.

The Cloud in ecru bouclé features a seat and backrest with rounded volumes on a black swivel base. Its product sheet recommends gentle dusting and dry cleaning. The Taupe Royal in sage green velvet combines a black swivel base with a removable cushion. For each model, follow the maintenance instructions on the product sheet and the label rather than a method common to all fabrics.

Backrest, armrests, and seat height

The total height of the chair does not correspond to its seat height. Ask for this if it is not specified, as well as the useful depth of the seat. To compare two seats, measure them against your current sofa rather than a lifestyle photograph.

A chair without armrests leaves access to the seat open; an enveloping shell occupies a different volume. To read for a long time, examine the back support, available rests, and the desired posture. A sculptural silhouette is not a measure of personal comfort.

Five models to compare

The dimensions below come from the catalog sheets. They concern the chair and must be completed by verifying the rotation space and your access points.

Check passage and order details

Measure doors, hallways, and turns, then ask for packaged dimensions and disassembly possibilities. Do not assume that a base or armrests can be removed because they appear as distinct parts in a photo.

Confirm the selected color and included accessories. The DUO FLOWER sheet specifically describes light sage green and mauve lilac: the available variant and its price should be verified when making your choice.

Before ordering

• Mark the dimensions on the floor and test the circulation around the coffee table.
• Check the seat height if it is critical for your use.
• Compare the finish and maintenance instructions.
• Have the availability, lead time, and fees confirmed for your address.

Find the models in the armchair collection. To coordinate seating, also consult the modular sofa guide. The delivery policy and the Contact page allow you to prepare questions specific to your order.

Frequently asked questions

Can a swivel chair be placed near a wall?

Yes, if the clearance allows for its rotation and use without contact with the wall. Check the model's volume and the indications on its product sheet.

Which format should be compared for a limited space?

The Sculpt Chair, listed at 55 × 55 × 78 cm, is a compact example. This choice must still be compared against your floor plan and your preferred posture.

What is the delivery time?

It depends on the model and the destination. Check the lead time announced for the chosen reference before paying, without applying a general estimate to the entire collection.
