Seat upholstery. Faux leather in black or light grey and the cinnamon PPM-FR leatherette are the entry options. Light grey S-PPM is a silicone-finished performance leather that wipes clean, and the turquoise Camira Blazer is a pure new wool contract fabric. Screens show color slightly differently than real life.

Base finishes

The sword base angles four flat steel blades out from a central swivel, a sculptural, Mid-Century style stance that looks like wood when you choose the walnut finish and like graphic ironwork in black. You get the turn of a swivel with the visual warmth of splayed legs, which suits a den or a design-forward reception area. The base spans 28.7 in with a 3° tilt, and the tall Avanos shell sits on top at a 16.6 in seat height.

Where to use it

• Dens, studies and media rooms
• Design-led reception areas and boutique hotels
• Lounge corners in restaurants and bars
• Mid-Century Modern and Industrial interiors

Planning notes

• Walnut finish blends with wood floors; black stands out against light oak or concrete.
• The blades reach 28.7 in, so keep a clear circle of about 30 in for turning.
• Add a round side table rather than a four-leg one so legs and blades don't clash.
• The steel blades suit hard floors and flat-weave rugs.
• Shipping: in-stock lounge chairs ship in 3 to 5 business days. If your upholstery and base combination is out of stock or on its way to our warehouse, please allow 10 to 15 weeks for it to ship.

Who it is not for

• Anyone who wants a chair to return to center on its own: see the Avanos Oval
• Very small rooms: the round base is more compact
• Outdoor use

Care

Wipe faux leather and PPM with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap, then dry. Vacuum fabric seats regularly and blot spills right away. Wipe the metal base with a soft, dry cloth; skip abrasive pads and harsh cleaners, which dull plated and powder-coated finishes. Leather and fabric vary slightly in shade from batch to batch.

Designer credit

The Avanos lounge chair is designed by sohoConcept's in-house team and made in Türkiye, where sohoConcept builds its contract and residential seating.
