Venice Swivel Dining Armchair in Grey Velvet with Diamond-Quilted Back and Crossed Black Metal Base
The dining armchair that earns its place at the head of the table. The Venice is built for the dinners that last, the conversations that wander, and the Sunday afternoons that quietly turn into evenings. A 360° swivel base makes it just as at home at a desk, a vanity, or a quiet corner with a book.
Soft grey velvet with a diamond-quilted back, deep cradling seat, padded armrests, and a sculptural crossed black metal base that turns smoothly and stays steady.
Trusted by thousands of homes. Rated excellent on Trustpilot.
Designed to Make Long Dinners Feel Easy
Most dining chairs are built to be sat in for an hour. The Venice is built for the third course, the second bottle of wine, and the conversation that is not finished yet. The seat is deep and contoured, the back curves to support your spine without pushing you forward, and the padded armrests give your elbows somewhere to rest naturally between bites. The kind of chair where guests stop noticing the chair, which is the highest compliment a dining chair can earn.
Velvet That Holds Up to Real Dining
The grey velvet is a high-density performance velvet with stain treatment built in rather than sprayed on, rated to 50,000 Martindale, the durability standard used in commercial hospitality. In real terms: form and colour hold through years of weeknight pasta, weekend brunches, and the occasional spilled wine. Crumbs and pet hair lift off with a soft brush or vacuum attachment. Most spills wipe up before they settle if you catch them quickly. The deeper grey is forgiving in a way that lighter velvets are not.
A Swivel That Feels Solid, Not Springy
The most common complaint about cheaper swivel dining chairs is that the mechanism wobbles, squeaks, or feels loose after a few months. The Venice uses a heavy-duty swivel plate mounted to a weighted four-point spider base in powder-coated black steel, rated for 120kg. The rotation is smooth across all 360 degrees, returns to centre when you stand up, and stays quiet through years of normal use. The base footprint is wider than a typical pedestal, which gives the chair a planted, stable feel even when you lean back.
Will It Fit Your Dining Table?
The Venice has a 47cm seat height, which sits comfortably under standard European dining tables of 73 to 76cm with the recommended 25 to 30cm of clearance for legs. The armrests sit just below most dining table edges, which means the chair tucks in close when not in use. If you have a table with a lower apron or skirt, measure from the underside of the table to your floor before ordering. For a non-armrest alternative, browse our other swivel dining chairs, or for the full velvet range, our velvet chairs.
A Sculptural Base That Earns the Compliments
The crossed metal base is the Venice's signature. Powder-coated matte black, with four legs that meet at a narrow centre and angle outward like a spider, it gives the chair a lifted, almost sculptural feel that you do not get from pedestal swivel bases. The diamond-quilted detail on the back wraps around the silhouette and adds depth without ornament. Pairs naturally with marble, oak, walnut, and glass dining tables, and works equally well in modern glam, monochrome, and contemporary minimalist interiors.
