Chair 01 vs Chair 04: How to pick the right occasional chair for your home
An occasional chair is a great way to dial up the personality in any space - whether it’s a chic hallway addition, or an extra seat in your living room. At Swyft, we have two occasional chairs to choose from: Chair 01 and Chair 04. Both are big on comfort and style, but have distinct features that make them suited to different spaces.
Here, we’ll walk you through the key differences between Chair 01 and Chair 04 - so you can choose the perfect occasional chair for your home.
Chair 01: The Compact, Timeless Classic
If you’re looking for a chair that’s small but mighty, Chair 01 is well, the one. It’s got all the style without taking up too much space, making it a dream for smaller homes (e.g. studio flats) or tight spaces.
Size
Chair 01 is 66cm wide, 83cm high, and 72cm deep - aka, the perfect size for tucking into a snug nook or adding as an extra seat in your living room, bedroom, or hallway. It won’t overpower your space but will definitely make a stylish impact.
Materials
Built with a solid wood frame and finished in a rich walnut stain, this chair is sturdy and timeless. Its sleek, curved design makes it super versatile - working well in both modern and classic interiors.
Fabric & Colour Options
Chair 01 comes in three fabric options: linen, velvet and leather. With, all together, four colourways:
- Linen in Oatmeal
- Velvet in Teal
- Velvet in Vine
- Leather in Maple
Assembly
No assembly required here - Chair 01 is ready, straight out of the box.
Where Chair 01 Works Best
With its elegant curves and warm wooden frame, Chair 01 fits beautifully in mid-century modern, Scandi, or classic spaces. Small room? No problem - this chair was made for it.
Chair 04: The Spacious, Modern Showstopper
If you like clean lines and a contemporary feel, you’ll love Chair 04. Bigger, bolder, and super comfy, this occasional chair makes a statement in any room.
Size
Chair 04 is a little bigger than Chair 01, coming in at 85.5cm wide, 74cm high, and 82cm deep. If you’re looking for an occasional chair that you can curl up in, this is the one.
Materials
Chair 04 is made from a steel frame with a black powder coat finish, which gives it a clean and modern aesthetic. Paired with the plush, sinkable cushions, it’s the perfect mix of comfort and style.
Fabric & Colour Options
Like Chair 01, Chair 04 comes in three fabric options: linen, velvet and leather (but with one more colour way):
- Linen in Oatmeal
- Velvet in Teal
- Velvet in Vine
- Velvet in Mustard
- Leather in Maple
Assembly
Chair 04 comes with fastening technology - so you can put it together in minutes, no tools needed.
Where Chair 04 Works Best
This chair is made for modern and minimalist spaces. If you want a piece that stands out without being too fussy, Chair 04 is it. It’s great for a stylish office or any spot where you want to add a bit of contemporary cool. Plus, its larger size makes it a dream for lounging.
Which occasional chair should I choose? Chair 01 or Chair 04?
As always, your home should be a reflection of your preferences and your lifestyle. There are no right or wrong answers - pick a chair that you know you’ll love.
- Go for Chair 01 if you’re short on space or love a timeless, curved design with a warm walnut frame.
- Pick Chair 04 if you have a bigger room and want a bold, comfortable chair with a more modern feel.
