Channeling the bold spirit of mid-century modernism with 1970s flair, this high-back vintage swivel lounge chair is both sculptural and inviting. With a tall, gently curved back, cushioned headrest, and durable quilted leatherette upholstery, the chair offers a stylish way to relax and unwind. Its form and function pay homage to classic designs by George Mulhauser, reimagined with a lounge-friendly twist.
The high back delivers a sense of privacy and presence, perfect for creating a focused reading nook or anchoring a corner of your living room. Its ergonomic contours cradle the body, while the headrest provides added neck support—making it a cozy perch for long afternoons or casual evenings in. The winged design adds elegance and dimension, ensuring the chair looks stunning from every angle.
Mounted on a smooth swivel base, this lounge chair offers practical flexibility. Whether you’re turning toward a conversation or adjusting to sunlight by the window, its effortless 360-degree rotation enhances usability without sacrificing style. It’s a feature that makes this chair just as suitable for a home office as a vintage-styled living space.
The quilted leatherette upholstery gives a nod to the tailored craftsmanship of its era, offering both texture and sheen. The leatherette is easy to clean, resilient against everyday wear, and visually sharp—making it a smart, stylish choice for high-traffic areas. Its quilted pattern subtly emphasizes the chair’s rounded form, highlighting the thoughtful construction.
To round out your space, pair it with the matching low-back lounge chair, available separately. Together, the two pieces create a well-balanced conversation set—distinct in profile, yet unified in material and mood. They’re ideal for asymmetrical layouts, or for adding rhythm and interest to a modern lounge zone.
With its commanding height, timeless curves, and playful swivel functionality, this 1970s lounge chair is a bold yet elegant statement piece. Whether styled solo or with its matching companion, it delivers vintage authenticity and lasting comfort in equal measure.
This is more than a chair—it’s a return to the joy of tactile design, curved form, and everyday luxury from a golden era of furniture-making.
