Description
The Rosolini is an upholstered tub-shaped armchair on a swivel, with rise and fall height adjustment. The shell is covered in Pebble, a pale neutral fabric with a fine darker fleck through it, and the back curves forward into the arms in one continuous line, so the shell wraps round you on three sides. Underneath, a central column rises from a black metal base with four splayed legs, each ending in a small round foot rather than a castor. The figures we have give it as 64cm wide, 64cm deep and 76cm high, with a seat of 43 x 44cm.
It suits a home office, a study corner or a desk in a spare room, anywhere you want a chair that looks like furniture rather than office equipment once the laptop is shut. The swivel lets you turn to a shelf or a printer without pushing back, and a chair on feet stays where it is when you stand up; the trade-off is that you move it by hand rather than wheeling it. Allow the full 64cm square of floor, plus room behind to turn. The outside back is covered in the same fabric as the front, so it looks finished from behind and can stand away from a wall.
For the chair as a whole, the composition we have is polyester 50%, plywood 30% and iron 20%; the upholstery is sold as a linen mix, though polyester is the only fibre listed. Plywood is built from thin layers of wood glued with the grain crossing, which makes it stable and resistant to splitting. The chair needs partial assembly and is made in China. Pale fabric on a black base is an easy contrast to live with: set it beside dark wood, black metal shelving or a soft grey wall, and the rounded outline will do the rest.

Frequently Asked
Is the upholstery real linen?
It is sold as a linen mix, but the composition we have lists polyester 50%, plywood 30% and iron 20% for the whole chair, with no linen share given. Polyester is the only fibre listed, so if natural fibre content matters to you, go by the composition rather than the name.
Does it have wheels?
No. The black metal base has four splayed legs, each ending in a small round foot rather than a castor, so the seat swivels and adjusts in height but there is nothing to roll on.
How high does the seat go?
Rise and fall means the seat height adjusts, but we do not have a confirmed seat height or adjustment range for this chair. The overall height we have is 76cm, and that figure moves with the seat. If an exact sitting height matters to you, that is the measurement to confirm before you buy.
How much space does it need?
The figures we have are 64cm wide and 64cm deep, so allow a square of floor that size, plus clear space behind for turning on the swivel and getting up. The seat itself is 43 x 44cm, worth comparing with a chair you already find comfortable.
Does it need assembling?
Yes, partly. Partial assembly is required before first use, so allow a little time and a clear patch of floor to put it together.
