Astro

Soft Seating Chairs

Soft chair. #930

Participating In

From Any Angle

Astro’s playful shape—reminiscent of Andy Warhol’s Banana (1967)—provides the opportunity sink back and unwind. Or rock back & forth. Or sway side to side. While we don’t exactly recommend sitting upside down, hey, who are we to judge?

Sweeping Back

The high back design of the Astro chair provides comfort and privacy. Simply swivel any which way using Astro’s optional 360 degree rotation and take a pause. Go on. You deserve it.

Make It Two-Tone

The Astro chair offers the option of two-tone upholstery. Select from two different textiles—fabric, vinyl or leather—and apply one to the seat and one to the back. For further contrast, apply emphasized stitch ». Select from an array of thread colors applied to all the stitch lines.

Extend the Sit

The Astro chair pairs perfectly with an ottoman (such as our Norwegian-style Chico ottoman »). The addition extends the relaxation and is highly recommended for the best sit with Astro’s rock, sway & swivel experience.
