The Fredericia Pato Swivel Armchair, Fully Upholstered has a really calm, easy feel to it that makes it work naturally across different spaces, from meeting rooms and studios through to dining areas at home. The fully upholstered shell gives the chair a softer and more comfortable character, especially for longer sitting, while the black aluminium legs keep the overall look light and understated. Finished in Vegeta 90 leather, it has a warmth and depth that feels smart without becoming too formal.

Underneath the upholstery, the seat shell is made from recycled polypropylene, which is part of what gives the chair its clean, uncomplicated structure. The swivel base adds flexibility in everyday use, and the arms are supportive without making the chair feel bulky or oversized. What’s good about the design is that nothing feels overthought. The lines are simple, the proportions are balanced and the materials feel honest in the way they’ve been used.

This is the sort of chair that settles into a space very easily. In collaborative workspaces, around meeting tables or in quieter dining settings, it feels comfortable from the start and stays that way over time. The leather upholstery softens the overall feel nicely, while the darker base keeps it grounded and practical for everyday use.
