Nao Swivel Accent Chair – Ivory with Black

The Nao accent chair pairs a soft ivory boucle seat with a black metal swivel base, giving you a padded seat that turns to face whatever the moment calls for. Measuring 1020mm wide, 890mm deep and 660mm high, it offers a generous seat that suits relaxed lounging without taking over the room. The design nods to the 1970s, with a rounded, low-slung shape that feels informal and easy to live with. It weighs 22kg and arrives fully assembled in one box, so there is no building to do once it reaches you.

We designed this chair to slot into a living room corner, a bedroom reading nook or a wider open-plan space where you want a seat that adds a little softness. The ivory tone keeps things light and works alongside warm woods, deeper upholstery and neutral walls, while the black base grounds it and adds contrast. The swivel action makes it handy in busy rooms, letting you turn towards conversation, a window or the television without shifting the whole chair. Its retro-leaning form pairs well with both older and newer pieces in the same room.

The seat and back are padded for extra comfort, wrapped in a textured ivory boucle that gives the chair its cosy, tactile feel. Underneath, the metal frame carries the swivel mechanism and holds the shape steady in daily use. Boucle is a looped fabric, so keep it away from sharp edges and pet claws that could pull the loops. To care for it, wipe with a clean damp cloth or lift away dust and crumbs with a soft brush. Deal with spills promptly by blotting rather than rubbing, and let the fabric dry naturally to keep the pile looking its best over time.

What is the chair covered in?

The seat and back are wrapped in ivory boucle, a textured looped fabric that gives the chair a soft, cosy feel. It sits on a black metal base that houses the swivel mechanism. The pairing keeps the look light while the darker frame adds contrast and stability.

How do I keep the boucle looking good?

Wipe the fabric with a clean damp cloth, or use a soft brush to lift away dust and crumbs. Blot spills promptly rather than rubbing, and let any damp areas dry naturally. Keep sharp objects and pet claws away, as they can snag the looped pile.

Does the chair actually swivel?

Yes. The metal base includes a swivel action, so you can turn the seat towards a window, a conversation or the television without moving the whole chair. This makes it useful in busy rooms and open-plan spaces where the seating faces more than one direction.

Is it big enough to relax in?

At 1020mm wide and 890mm deep, it gives you a generous seat for relaxed lounging, and the padded seat and back add extra comfort. The 660mm height keeps it low and informal, suiting a reading nook, a living room corner or a wider open space.

Does it need assembling?

No. The chair arrives fully assembled in a single box and weighs 22kg, so there is nothing to build once it reaches you. Because of its size and weight, having a second person on hand to help move it into position can make placing it easier.
