How do you make a lounge chair look elegant while ensuring maximum stability? The answer is hidden beneath the seat - the Trumpet swivel.

Designed for larger lounge chairs, the Trumpet swivel seamlessly balances functionality and elegance. One of its key advantages is that it eliminates the need for a separate base - fasten the swivel to a flat veneer plate for exceptional stability for your lounge chair.

An optional self-returning swivel base for stationary lounge models ensures that chairs are automatically repositioned when not in use. If you are looking for even more functionality, you can also opt for the release function.

Why Designers choose the Trumpet Swivel

  • No visible base – maintains a modern esthetic
  • High stability – fastening directly to a veneer plate, combining base and swivel in one
  • Automatic return option – keeps chairs automatically repositioned when not in use
  • Upholstery-friendly – can be fully upholstered for a traditional look

“We use the Trumpet swivel mechanism on several of our larger lounge chairs. This mechanism allows our larger style lounge chairs to swivel and return as a smaller style chair would. The mechanism is designed to evenly distribute weight and has a smooth action return, which makes it a great fit for our high traffic clients.“
