Know before you buy
No, the chair is delivered fully assembled and ready for immediate use.
The swivel base is designed for smooth, fluid rotation, allowing for easy movement and interaction within a room without the need to reposition the entire chair.
Atlantic is a durable, standard-grade fabric suitable for high-traffic areas, while Tonus by Kvadrat is a premium, high-stretch wool blend known for its vibrant color saturation and soft, luxurious texture.
While its sculptural form makes it a striking statement piece in a lounge or reading nook, its ergonomic design is comfortable enough for extended periods of sitting, making it versatile for both formal living spaces and home offices.
Regularly vacuum the chair with a soft brush attachment to remove dust and debris. For spills, blot the area immediately with a clean, damp cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals that could damage the fabric fibers.
