Arlo Armchair

A swivel armchair is not placed like a fixed one: it lives in the middle of the room, not against a wall. The Arlo combines an enveloping seat, rounded lines and a central base, in a living room as well as a bedroom.

The swivel changes the layout

A central base lets the seat turn, so it can serve two purposes at once: conversation on one side, the window or the TV on the other. Pull it away from the wall and give it room all around. Keep a thick-fringed rug or a lamp base out of its turning radius.

Where to place it in the room

At the end of a sofa, the Arlo closes off a living room without partitioning it and turns toward the coffee table when guests are over. In a bedroom, it takes the corner by the window and becomes the reading nook that is often missing. In a home office or a lounge area, it stands on its own, on open floor rather than wedged between two pieces of furniture.

Curves that need calm around them

The silhouette is already sculptural: the rest of the room benefits from staying understated. A side table with simple lines, a solid-colored textile and a light-colored wall are enough to showcase it. If the living room already has a very distinctive sofa, choose a similar shade for the armchair rather than a strong contrast.

Frequently asked questions

How much space to leave around a swivel armchair?

Allow about forty centimeters of clear space in front and on the sides, enough to turn the seat without bumping into furniture. Also check the thickness of the rug, which can hinder movement.

Does this armchair suit a bedroom?

Yes, and it is even one of its best spots. Simply measure the passage between the bed and the armchair before settling on its place.

How do I care for the seat day to day?

Vacuum the seat and backrest on low power, then dab a fresh stain with a barely damp white cloth, working from the edge toward the center.
