Swivel Dining Chairs
A swivel dining chair is welcome if you like getting in and out of the chair easily or want to be able to turn at the table without moving the chair. Within the Dining Chairs category at Mokana you will find a broad choice of 293 swivel models, with prices from 139 to 1225 euro. That way you will find both a simple chair for daily use and a more luxurious version for an atmospheric dining room. Most of the collection is set up in the showroom at Hogelandsingel 49 in Enschede, across 3000 square metres, so you can try the chairs too. If you would rather order online, Mokana delivers throughout the Netherlands.
What a swivel dining chair is and who it suits
A swivel dining chair has a swivel mechanism in the base, which lets the seat turn independently of the table. That makes sitting down and getting up easier, which is especially welcome at a round table or in a dining room where people often change places. It can also be handy in a smaller space, because you have to shift the chair less. At Mokana, swivel dining chairs are available from brands such as Richmond Interiors, Benoa, Wildeboer en van der Weide, Moods Collection and several others.
360 degree rotation, 180 degrees or memory return: what is the difference
In the collection you will come across chairs with a 360 degree swivel base, where the seat can turn all the way round, and models that turn 180 degrees. In addition, some models list a memory return function: the chair then turns back towards the table on its own as soon as you get up. That last one is handy if you would rather not have to straighten the chair yourself. Which mechanism is most comfortable depends mainly on how you use the chair day to day.
Choosing with or without armrests
At Mokana, swivel dining chairs are available both with and without armrests. A chair without armrests slides more easily under the table and takes up less space, which is welcome with a compact dining table or if you want many chairs around it. A chair with armrests offers more support when sitting and getting up and often looks more luxurious. Which choice suits best depends on the space around the table and the seating posture you find comfortable.
Fabric and care: what to look for
The swivel dining chair collection is upholstered in a wide range of fabrics, including velvet, bouclé, corduroy, chenille, woven fabric and leather or eco leather. Every fabric has its own look and feel, from soft and warm to crisp and smooth. How best to care for the chair depends on the material you choose, so if in doubt check the information on the specific model. In the showroom in Enschede you can also feel the fabrics yourself before you decide.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a 360 degree and a 180 degree swivel mechanism?
With a 360 degree swivel base the seat can turn all the way round, while a 180 degree mechanism lets the chair turn over a smaller range. Both mechanisms appear in the Mokana swivel dining chair collection. Which option is most comfortable depends on how you use the chair.
What does the memory return function do?
Some models have a memory return function. That means the chair turns back towards the table on its own after you get up, so you do not have to straighten it yourself. If a model has this function, you will find it in the product description.
Can I try the swivel dining chairs somewhere?
Yes, most of the collection is in the Mokana showroom at Hogelandsingel 49 in Enschede, across 3000 square metres. There you can try the chairs and view the different fabrics. If you have questions beforehand, Mokana can also be reached by phone on 053 433 5032.
