Description
The Rosolini is a swivel chair with a rise and fall seat, upholstered in white bouclé and set on a black metal base. Bouclé is made from looped yarn, which gives it a nubbly, textured surface, and here it covers a rounded tub shape whose back curves forward into the arms. The chair measures 64cm wide, 64cm deep and 76cm high, with a 43 x 44cm seat and arms 62cm from the floor. Check the width against your desk's kneehole and the arm height against the underside of the desk top: together they decide whether the chair tucks in or sits out in front.
It is made for the home office, and we would put it just as happily at a desk in a spare room or a bedroom corner, where a working chair is on show as part of the room. The swivel turns you to a shelf or a printer without pushing back, and the rise and fall action raises or lowers the seat rather than fixing it at one height. The arms and back are one shell with the seat, so they travel with it and the 62cm arm height changes as you adjust. Four legs with small round feet stand in place of castors, so the seat turns but the chair does not roll, which suits anyone who would rather it stayed in one spot.
Polyester is the only fibre in the material composition of 50% polyester, 30% plywood and 20% iron, so this is a synthetic bouclé rather than a wool one, which is worth knowing if you are comparing chairs. Partial assembly is required. For styling, the white and black pairing is easy to repeat: a black lamp base or picture frame nearby picks up the legs, and the looped bouclé softens a desk corner that is otherwise all hard edges.

Frequently Asked
Does this chair have wheels?
No. The four black metal legs end in small round feet rather than castors, so the seat swivels but the chair itself does not roll across the floor.
Is the seat height adjustable?
Yes. The rise and fall action raises and lowers the seat, and because the arms and back are part of the same shell as the seat, they move up and down with it.
Will the arms fit under my desk?
The arms are 62cm from the floor and the chair is 64cm wide. Measure from the floor to the underside of your desk top, and across its kneehole, remembering that the arms rise and fall with the seat.
Is this wool bouclé?
No. The material composition is 50% polyester, 30% plywood and 20% iron, and polyester is the only fibre among them, so the bouclé is synthetic.
Does it need assembling?
Yes. Partial assembly is required, so allow for putting the chair together before you sit on it for the first time.
Are the desk and stool in the photographs included?
No. The chair is sold on its own. The desk, round stool, lamp and other pieces in our photographs are styling props and are not included.
