Story
The swivel armchair
The page's armchair paragraph is short: a large and comfortable seat, a four-spoke swivel base in galvanised steel with a ruthenium finish, and a mechanism for the full turn and the return. The sheet words the return as automatic.
Wood and steel inside
The sheet gives the armchair its own structure: seasoned solid wood over a steel frame that holds the swivel mechanism, and elastic belts for the seat springing.
