Gazel Star spreads four straight steel legs from a central hub under the seat, so the chair stands wide and stable with a crisp, star-shaped footprint. It has the deepest option list in the Gazel side chairs: plain legs in black, gold, stainless, natural or walnut veneer, legs with adjustable caps for uneven floors, and ring-braced versions in black with gold or walnut with stainless. A memory swivel can be added on any base and raises the seat by about 1 in. The seat is a steel frame with S-shaped springs inside molded polyurethane foam.

Where to use it

  • Restaurants with older or uneven floors, using the adjustable caps
  • Home dining rooms around pedestal and tulip tables
  • Hotel rooms and suites as a desk chair
  • Modern and Industrial interiors

Planning notes

  • Seat height 17.7 in fixed, about 18.7 in with the memory swivel.
  • The splayed legs need a bit more floor than straight legs; allow 24 to 26 in per chair.
  • Adjustable caps let you level the chair on tile, stone or old wood floors.
  • Ring-braced bases add stiffness for heavy daily use.
  • Shipping: in-stock chairs ship in 3 to 5 business days. If your seat and leg 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

  • Very tight banquette layouts where splayed legs catch feet: consider the Gazel Cross
  • Armchair seating: see the Gazel Arm Star or Gazel Arm Sword
  • 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 Gazel collection is designed by Tayfur Ozkaynak for sohoConcept, a contract and residential seating maker that builds its chairs in Türkiye.

Frequently asked questions

What are adjustable caps?

Threaded foot caps that screw in or out so you can level the chair on an uneven floor.

What do the ring bases add?

A metal ring joins the legs for extra rigidity and a finishing accent: gold on black legs, or stainless steel on walnut legs.

Can the Gazel Star swivel?

Yes, with the optional memory swivel, which returns the seat to face the table and adds about 1 in of height.

How much weight does it hold?

350 lb.

Why are some bases priced higher?

The adjustable-cap bases and the two ring bases each carry a surcharge, and the memory swivel is an add-on. The seat sets the tier: faux leather lowest, PPM, nubuck, boucle and Camira Era middle, Camira Blazer wool and Italian leather highest.

Are the veneer legs wood?

They are steel legs finished with natural or walnut wood veneer.
