Swivel chair

A swivel or revolving chair is a chair with a single central leg that allows the seat to spin around.

They may have wheels on the base allowing the user to move the chair around their work area without getting up. This type is common in modern offices and are often also referred to as office chairs.

A draughtsman's chair is a swivel chair without wheels that is usually taller than an 'office chair' for use in front of a drawing board. They also have a foot-ring to support the legs when it is not possible to reach the ground.

Swivel chairs usually incorporate a gas lift to adjust the height of the seat.

The swivel chair was introduced to the United States by former U.S. President Thomas Jefferson. [1]
