It’s the kind of chair that you could see in a boardroom in the 1950s or in a startup office today. The chair is made of tubular steel and bent sheet metal, which gives it a sleek and modern look. But it’s also got a touch of warmth and comfort thanks to the wooden armrests.
The seat and backrest are upholstered in leather or fabric, and they’re both very comfortable. The swivel seat is height-adjustable, and the backward tilt mechanism can be adapted to your weight. So you can find the perfect position for working or relaxing. The Fauteuil Direction Pivotant is a great chair for any type of business or home office. It’s stylish, comfortable, and functional. And it’s certain to last for many years to come.
