Velvet Swivel Accent Chair – Ochre Performance Upholstery

One colorway only, Surrey Ochre, in a performance velvet. Ochre is a committed color, a yellow-brown that reads as gold under warm light and closer to mustard under cool, and offering the chair in nothing else means it was drawn as a single decisive object rather than a neutral to be specified into someone else's scheme.

Performance velvet is built to keep the hand of velvet while behaving more like an upholstery workhorse. On a swivel chair that matters, because the seat picks up more lateral scuffing than a fixed chair does; you turn on it rather than getting off it. The swivel puts the entire load through a central post into the base, so nothing about the chair's stability rests on the upholstery.

A single ochre chair is enough color for most rooms. It works at the edge of a living area, in a home office where you turn between a desk and a door, or as the one accent in an otherwise neutral scheme.
