House Note · About this piece

The swivel desk chair is a nineteenth-century invention, born in counting houses and studies where a writer needed to turn from desk to bookshelf without getting up. Dress one in pleated velvet and set it on brass, and it borrows the glamour of a 1930s dressing room.

A rounded back flows into softly sloping arms, the shell padded in dense foam and covered in performance velvet in Alabaster, Pewter or Blush that resists stains. Around the outer back the velvet is drawn into narrow pleats, and a brass pull at the top helps roll it in and out. It turns a full circle on a polished gold-tone five-star base with hooded casters. A lever sets the seat between 20.5 and 24 inches, and the tilt tension lets it rock back easily or hold you upright. The frame is wood and plywood, it is rated to hold 331 lbs, and assembly is required.

Put it at a writing desk in a bright bedroom corner, or at a dressing table for hair and makeup. In a home office it softens long days on calls. Velvet with brass reads crisp and luminous: set it against pale pink or dove grey walls with a lacquered desk, tulips in a fluted vase and a gilt mirror. This listing is for one chair.
