Combining comfort, function and style, these rotating pieces go so much further than the home office.

Once confined to the home office, swivel chairs are now a staple in so many parts of the home. From minimalist swivel dining chairs to statement swivel accent chairs, these versatile pieces are a fabulous blend of comfort, function and style.

Gaining popularity in the 50s, swivel chairs were originally designed with one thing in mind: practicality. With a simple rotating design, these ergonomic chairs were primarily used in social spaces such as offices where comfort and mobility were paramount (think: turning round for a quick office briefing).

These days, swivel chairs are as much about style as they are about practicality, and designs vary considerably. Whether sleek and minimal or bold and colourful, it'll bring a modern twist to your living space.

John Darling, founder at Darlings of Chelsea, says: 'Swivel chairs are statement pieces – both sociable and space-saving – making them a great choice for a living room, bedroom or home office.
