Maker's Mark: The Swivel Chair
Swivel chairs occupy a particular place in a room. They invite conversation, shift perspective and respond to the way we move through space. At Sister, both the Two-Step and Chess Swivel Chairs reinterpret this familiar form through distinct references — one drawn from Art Deco geometry, the other from the sculptural clarity of chess pieces.
The Two-Step Swivel Chair
Inspired by Art Deco stepped motifs, the Two-Step Swivel Chair is defined by its tiered profile and curved, form-hugging back. The stepped base gives the piece structure and rhythm, while the continuous curve softens the silhouette.
A smooth swivel mechanism is integrated within the plinth base, allowing movement without interrupting the visual line of the chair. Designed to sit comfortably at a dressing table, desk or dining table, it balances presence with practicality.
The chair can be upholstered in Sister fabrics or in a client’s own material, allowing the form to adapt to different interiors while retaining its distinctive stepped identity.
The Chess Swivel Chair
The Chess Swivel Chair takes its cue from the distinctive proportions of chess pieces — forms that are grounded, deliberate and sculptural. Its silhouette carries that same sense of poise: sturdy yet comfortable, structured yet inviting.
The swivel base introduces subtle movement, creating contrast with the chair’s composed form. Designed with gathering in mind, it is equally at home in a games room, dining setting or study.
Available in Sister fabrics or upholstered in a your own material, the Chess Swivel Chair allows material expression to shape the final character of the piece.
The Beak Swivel Chair takes its cue from the enveloping forms of 1960s club seating, reinterpreted through a contemporary lens. Defined by soft, rounded lines and generous proportions, its silhouette is both sculptural and inviting — designed to cradle rather than simply seat. The name nods subtly to the gentle sweep of its profile, where curves feel deliberate and resolved.
Beneath the form, a concealed swivel base introduces an element of movement, allowing the chair to shift effortlessly within a room. The result is a piece that balances presence with ease: tactile, sociable and quietly expressive, equally suited to intimate corners and more animated living spaces.
Though inspired by different references, the swivel chairs explore the relationship between structure and movement. Each integrates a swivel base seamlessly within its form, ensuring function supports — rather than competes with — design.
Adaptable in upholstery yet consistent in silhouette, they are pieces intended to respond to the room around them.
