Seat upholstery. Black PPM-S is a silicone-finish performance leather that wipes clean. Bronze velvet is a soft, warm pile fabric. The pedestal is covered in the same material as the shell.

The Russel is a fully upholstered armchair whose rounded shell flows into curved arms and sits on a conical pedestal covered to match. The stock sheet lists it as a swivel armchair, so guests can turn to the table or the room without dragging the chair. It is sized for dining, at 30.5 in high with a 17.7 in seat, but its enveloping shape makes it equally at home in a lounge, a private dining room or an executive office. Choose black PPM-S for wipe-clean commercial use or bronze velvet for a warmer, softer look.

Planning notes

• At 24.5 in wide, allow about 30 in of table edge per chair.
• The pedestal base has no legs to catch, which makes it easy to clean around and good on rugs.
• Choose black PPM-S for busy commercial rooms; velvet suits homes and lower-traffic lounges.
• A swivel seat needs a little clearance behind it; leave about 36 in from the table edge to the wall.
• Shipping: in-stock chairs ship in 3 to 5 business days. If your seat 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

• Small dining tables where four slim side chairs are needed
• Outdoor use
• Anyone who needs a stacking chair

Care

Wipe PPM-S with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap, then dry. Vacuum velvet with a soft brush attachment and brush the pile in one direction; blot spills straight away rather than rubbing. Keep velvet out of long, strong sun. Pile and color vary slightly from batch to batch.

Frequently asked questions

Does the Russel swivel?

It is listed by the maker as a swivel armchair: the shell turns on the upholstered pedestal so you can face the table or the room.

Is it a dining chair or a lounge chair?

Both. The 17.7 in seat height and 30.5 in overall height suit a standard dining table, while the enveloping shell is comfortable enough for a lounge or office.

Will it work on a rug?

Yes. The round pedestal sits flat on a rug and has no legs to catch on the pile.

How much weight does it hold?

It is rated for 300 lb.

Why do black PPM-S and bronze velvet cost the same?

Both are in the same upholstery grade, so the price does not change. Full-grain leather and Camira Blazer wool versions are a higher grade and are not offered on this page.

Can I order my own fabric?

Yes, in customer's own material: 2.4 yd of fabric or 33 sq ft of leather. Contact us before ordering.
