Know before you buy
The chair features a high-quality, precision-engineered swivel base designed for fluid, 360-degree rotation. It is built to offer effortless movement, making it ideal for transitioning between conversations or tasks in a study or living area.
The chair is available in both Artepelle Eco Leather and a variety of fabric collections like Aquarius, Lima, and Supersuede. Eco leather provides a sleek, durable, and easy-to-clean surface, while the fabric options offer softer textures and a wider range of tactile finishes to suit your interior's comfort level.
The Esse Swivel Armchair is typically delivered fully assembled or with minimal setup required. We recommend confirming with your delivery team to ensure it is placed exactly where you intend to use it, as the swivel base is integrated into the frame.
Yes, Philippe Tabet’s design is intentionally sophisticated and minimalist, making it a perfect fit for a private study or a modern executive office. Its compact, fluid profile provides a professional aesthetic without the bulky look of traditional office seating.
Maintenance depends on your chosen material. For eco-leather, a simple wipe-down with a soft, damp cloth is usually sufficient, while fabric options should be vacuumed regularly with an upholstery attachment to prevent dust buildup. Always refer to the specific care instructions provided for your chosen fabric or leather grade.
