Know before you buy
Yes, the Clarence Lounge Chair features a 360-degree swivel base, allowing for smooth, dynamic movement in any direction.
The seat uses a poly blend down construction, which offers a softer, more luxurious 'sink-in' feel compared to traditional high-density foam. It provides a plush, supportive sit that maintains its shape over time.
The back cushion is semi-attached, meaning it is securely fastened to the frame to maintain the chair's architectural silhouette while still providing the comfort of a loose-style pillow.
You can choose between brushed stainless steel, which offers a cool, modern industrial look, or brushed bronze, which provides a warmer, more organic metallic tone to complement your interior palette.
With a width of 29 inches and a depth of 37 inches, the Clarence is relatively compact for a high-back chair. Its slim arm profile helps it maintain a light visual footprint, making it well-suited for tighter spaces.
Every Clarence Lounge Chair is handcrafted by skilled artisans in High Point, North Carolina, ensuring high-quality construction and attention to detail.
