Presley Swivel Chair

The Presley is a low, deep-seated swivel chair built around one idea: a back that wraps the sitter in a single smooth curve. The upholstered frame sits on a wooden platform seat, topped with a thick loose cushion filled with foam and feathers and fitted with a removable casing. A full-circle swivel base lets it turn toward the window, the room, or whoever just walked in. Four Hands offers it in two upholstery choices, a Crypton performance fabric made to shrug off stains, moisture and odor, and a soft wool blend.

The shape takes its cue from Danish sofas of the 1930s, with their rounded shoulders and generous padding, scaled down into a single chair. Short, thick arms and a rolled-in back keep the profile quiet and sculptural from every angle, which suits a room where the chair is seen from behind as often as from the front. It pairs well with a sheepskin throw, a travertine side table, or a pile of brass and ceramic objects nearby.

Use it as the reading chair in a living room corner, a second seat angled toward the sofa, or a bedroom chair that gets claimed by whoever is up first. The swivel makes it easy to switch between the conversation and the view without dragging it across the rug. A removable seat casing and a performance-minded fabric option make it a reasonable choice for a house that gets daily use.
