Sit in style in a designer swivel chair
Swivel chairs are only for the office? Not at all. A swivel chair works beautifully not just as a functional chair in the study, but also as comfortable seating in the hallway, living room or dining room. Its distinctive look makes it a real eye-catcher, and our range includes a wide variety of designs, so you're sure to find the right piece for your taste.
Buying a swivel chair – what to consider:
- Which swivel chair suits you?
- The material makes the designer armchair
- Shape and size of your swivel chair
- Beautiful swivel chair designs
- The right care for designer swivel chairs
- Swivel chairs for every budget
1. Which swivel chair suits you?
To find the right swivel chair for your home, first ask yourself what you want to use it for. Should it be a smart lounge chair for receiving guests, a comfortable TV chair or a cosy reading chair for long film or reading marathons? Then a swivel chair with a footstool, where you can put your feet up for even more comfort, might be just right for you. Or are you looking for a high-quality designer chair for your dining room? Then models with a removable cover are the ideal choice – if something gets spilled, you can clean the cover easily. Height-adjustable models with adjustable backrests, on the other hand, are ideal if you're looking for a conference chair for the office.
2. The material makes the designer armchair
The most common materials for high-quality designer swivel chairs are leather and fabric. Both have their advantages: a fabric lounge chair is particularly pleasant and feels cosy and warm straight away, whereas a leather swivel chair can feel cooler at first. If you have pets, leather is the better choice, as it's particularly easy to care for and robust. With fabric, on the other hand, you usually have a wider choice of colours and designs – for example with our About A Lounge Chair by HAY, where you can choose from various Kvadrat fabrics in numerous colours. Its frame is made of polished or powder-coated aluminium and, like many other swivel chairs, it stands out for its metal base. Wood is also a very popular and stylish material for swivel chairs, as shown by our Tuffy The Wild Bunch chair by Magis, with an interesting mix of wood and polypropylene – ideal for an industrial-style living room.
3. From round to angular – shape and size of your swivel chair
As well as material, shape and size are key to the design of a swivel chair. Both round and angular shapes can give your lounge or living room swivel chair that certain something, with a traditional or futuristic look. While a star base looks particularly stable, a tulip base gives any swivel chair a contemporary touch. A one-piece seat shell also looks particularly modern. If you choose a chair with armrests, the shape of the armrests can also change the whole design.
4. Beautiful swivel chair designs
We have the right chair for every taste and interior style. If you're looking for a piece that's easy to combine, you can't go wrong with a grey or black swivel chair. The shape determines whether a leather or fabric swivel chair looks minimalist, classic or futuristic – simply choose the model that suits your interior best. While the Lounge Chair by Vitra stands out for its elegant, classic design, the Ball Chair by Eero Aarnio has no corners at all, recalling the Space Age of the 1960s while remaining contemporary thanks to its clean lines.
5. The right care for designer swivel chairs
How best to clean your lounge, living room or office swivel chair depends entirely on its material. Leather is best wiped with a cloth rather than vacuumed, whereas a vacuum cleaner is exactly what you need to remove surface dirt from a fabric cover. For stubborn stains, use a special cleaner from a specialist retailer. Always test it on a hidden area first to make sure it isn't too harsh for the material. Leather armchairs in particular should never be placed in direct sunlight, as this can bleach the surface.
