The story

A low, soft seat that turns with the room.

Some chairs ask you to sit up straight. The Vivienne asks you to tuck your feet under you and stay a while, turned toward the fire, the window or the person across the room. It swivels a full circle, though you would never see how.

Its outline is two soft forms. A curved back wraps into short arms, and a deep, rounded seat projects in front of them, all in a warm oatmeal fabric woven with linen. A low steel base hides underneath, so the chair seems to sit right on the floor.

The design

Three details that make the Vivienne.

The Vivienne is all curves and one quiet fabric. These three details explain how it looks, how it sits and how it turns.

A Soft Oatmeal Weave

A Soft Oatmeal Weave

The Vivienne is covered in a warm oatmeal fabric woven from polyester, viscose and linen. Its fine, slubby texture is soft to the touch, and a thin self-welt traces the top of the back and the edge of the seat.

Two Rounded Forms

Two Rounded Forms

The curved back wraps into short arms, and the deep seat projects in front of them with softly rounded corners. Seen from the side, the two shapes fit together in one soft step.

A Turn You Don't See

A Turn You Don't See

A low black steel base sits hidden beneath the chair, so it swivels a full 360 degrees while seeming to rest on the floor. At 31 inches wide, it suits a corner or a pair facing a sofa.

Will it fit?

Depth 34.2″ 87 cm
Height 28.3″ 72 cm

Planning tip. The Vivienne is 31" (79 cm) wide and 34.2" (87 cm) deep, so it is deeper than it is wide: measure front to back before choosing a spot. Allow roughly 30" (75 cm) of clear floor in front, and because it swivels, keep it a few inches (about 8 cm) clear of walls and side tables so it can turn freely.
