Augustine Swivel Chair

The Augustine Swivel Chair from Four Hands is a library chair given a lower, rounder profile and a base that turns a full circle. Vertical channeling runs across the back, arms, and seat, so the upholstery reads as a ribbed, sculpted surface rather than a flat plane. Underneath, a plywood frame with corner-block joinery, an S-spring seat, and a foam-and-fiber fill keep the sit supportive. It is covered in either textured fabric or top-grain leather, depending on the version you choose.

The shape borrows from the classic club and library chair, then softens it with a compact, barrel-like silhouette and no visible legs. The channeling gives the fabric versions a velvety, light-catching nap, and it gives the leather versions a quieter, tailored look. Navy, rust, and cream upholstery sit alongside deeper leather tones, so the chair can anchor a color scheme or settle into a neutral one. It pairs well with a small round side table, a brass reading lamp, and a patterned rug underfoot.

Use it as a reading chair by a window, or set a pair opposite a sofa and let the swivel handle the conversation. The turning base makes it easy to face the room, the fireplace, or a book without dragging furniture around. Its footprint is modest enough for a corner of a bedroom or a study, and several of the fabrics are performance-grade for rooms that see daily use.
