White Velvet Swivel Square Cut Back Lounge Chair

A glam deco silhouette on a black iron swivel base, built for a room that wants one confident chair rather than several quiet ones.

The White Velvet Swivel Square Cut Back Lounge Chair measures 31 inches long, 29.5 inches wide, and 26.5 inches high, upholstered in stain resistant performance velvet over dense foam padding. It sits on a 360 degree swivel base finished in textured matte black iron, so the chair turns to face a conversation, a window, or a television without anyone getting up to drag it there. Underneath the upholstery is a solid wood and plywood frame, which is what keeps a swivel chair from developing a wobble after a few years of regular turning.

Shape or Form

The squared cutaway back is the detail that sets this chair apart from a standard tub or barrel silhouette. Instead of one continuous curve, the backrest cuts inward at the shoulders and squares off at the top corners, giving the piece a defined edge rather than a rounded club chair profile. At 26.5 inches high and 29.5 inches wide, it stands next to a sofa without overwhelming a smaller seating group.

Materials

Performance Velvet

The seat and back are covered in a stain resistant performance velvet, a synthetic weave built to resist spills and wear better than a natural mohair or cotton velvet. It keeps the same soft hand and light catching sheen as traditional velvet while standing up to a home with kids or pets on the furniture.

Matte Black Iron

The swivel base is iron finished in a textured matte black rather than a polished chrome or nickel, keeping the glam elements of the chair from tipping into anything too shiny. It is the same finish family that shows up across a number of deco leaning pieces in the catalog, making this chair an easy match for other black iron bases already in a room.

Design Themes

Modern Glam

White velvet and black iron are the two materials most modern glam rooms are already built around, and this chair supplies both in one piece. Pair it with a mirrored or lacquered surface and a metallic light fixture to lean fully into the look.

Warm Minimalist

Strip a room down to a handful of considered pieces and let the white upholstery and clean squared back do the work on their own. A warm minimalist space benefits from a chair with this much shape, since little else in the room competes for attention.

Transitional

The traditional proportions of a wingback are gone here, but the squared back keeps things structured enough to sit comfortably in a transitional room that mixes an older case piece with newer upholstery.

What to Pair It With

Deep Grey Velvet Button Tufted Sofa Acrylic Legs

This sofa shares the same performance velvet family as the lounge chair in a deeper grey, so the two read as related without matching outright. Its clear acrylic legs pick up the glam register the chair's iron base sets, and its 29.35 inch arm height sits close to the chair's own 26.5 inch height, keeping the seating group level.

Black Velvet Pleated Ribbed Round Storage Footstool Ottoman Gold Base

At 12.4 inches square, this footstool is scaled to sit at the feet of the lounge chair without crowding the floor. The ribbed velvet echoes the chair's upholstery, while the satin gold base swaps in a warmer metal tone against the chair's matte black iron.

Gold Cone Base Cream Top Accent Side Table

At 21 inches high, this table lands just above the chair's armrest, putting a drink or a book within easy reach of someone seated. Its ribbed gold base is a deliberate contrast to the chair's black iron, giving the pairing two finishes instead of one repeated metal.

Acrylic Leg Velvet Tufted Bench In Ivory

The ivory upholstery sits close in tone to the chair's white velvet, and its clear acrylic legs pick up the same glam material language as the chair's polished details. At 48.5 inches long, it works as extra seating at the foot of a bed or along an entry wall near the chair.

Living With It

Performance velvet is a practical choice for a piece that gets sat in often, since it resists stains better than a natural weave and generally only needs a light vacuum or a damp cloth for spot cleaning. Because the base is a full 360 degree swivel, leave clearance on all sides rather than backing it into a corner, since the 29.5 inch width needs room to rotate freely. The chair is also available in three additional colors, so a matching pair is an easy option for a larger seating group.
