Story
A chair with return rotation
The shared sheet lists Visitor separately from President, Executive, Managerial and Meeting. Its four-spoke base has plastic swivel glides; the page and sheet both say the chair returns to its starting position through a thrust-bearing mechanism.
Cover details
The page says the stitching on the cover is tone-on-tone or contrasting, and the sheet mentions tone-on-tone only.
