Nicolas Swivel Armchair in White Corduroy | Tall Back, 360° Swivel

A white corduroy swivel chair with a tall enveloping back and a full 360-degree turn. The Nicolas is the most practical shape in this range — the swivel base means it works as a desk chair, a nursing chair, or a conversation chair in a room where seating faces more than one direction. The ribbed corduroy gives it texture that plain upholstery cannot.

Key features

• Full 360° swivel on a metal base
• Ribbed corduroy velvet in a soft off-white
• Tall 88cm back that wraps around you rather than stopping at the shoulders
• Firm 28kg/m³ density through both seat and backrest
• Metal frame and legs — lighter and slimmer than a timber equivalent

Dimensions

Materials and construction

Frame and legs are metal rather than timber, which is why it weighs under 11kg despite its size — genuinely easy to move between rooms. Filling is 28kg/m³ in both seat and back, the firmest specification in this range, so it holds its shape under regular daily use rather than softening into a slump.

The corduroy is a polyester and nylon blend. The ribbed pile catches light along each cord, giving the surface a subtle striped depth that reads as considered rather than plain. Assembly is required.

How to style it

Off-white corduroy is soft without being bland, and the swivel makes this the most functional chair here. It suits a home office where a task chair looks too corporate, a nursery, a bedroom corner, or a living room where you want seating that can turn towards either the television or the room.

It sits naturally in Scandinavian, Japandi and warm-minimal schemes — pale wood, linen, ceramics, one or two plants. Be realistic about the colour: white upholstery in a household with young children or pets is a commitment.

Delivery and care

Assembly required. Vacuum on a low setting with a brush attachment, working along the direction of the cord rather than across it. Blot spills immediately — pale upholstery is unforgiving about delay. Keep out of prolonged direct sunlight. Check the swivel mechanism periodically and tighten the base fixings if any movement develops.
