Inspired by the relaxing island resort living, VELSCAPE Multi-functional Outdoor Swivel Glider Recliner perfectly blends natural aesthetics with contemporary outdoor furniture design to create an exceptionally comfortable outdoor experience. The beige woven fabric creates a soft and subtle sheen under the sunlight as if walking on a fine sandy beach. The reclining mechanism is concealed beneath the handmade PE wicker skirt, featuring the rich natural texture of tropical palm trees. The harmonious combination of woven wicker and contemporary upholstered lines creates a refined aesthetic and an enjoyable ambience for outdoor relaxation.
To enhance the dynamic seating experience, the chair integrates three advanced functions. A 360° swivel allows users to change directions effortlessly without moving the base. The smooth gliding features a low-frequency and gentle-swing design that mirrors the body’s natural movement, creating a soothing experience without causing discomfort or dizziness. The 145° infinite reclining backrest provides a continuous and smooth adjustment from an upright seating position to a deeper recline, perfect for reading, taking in the view or unwinding.
Unlike traditional recliners that often use a synchronised reclining mechanism, this chair offers an independent adjustment system for backrest and footrest. A hidden pull-ring mechanism is integrated into the side of the armrest to enhance convenience, allowing the footrest to extend smoothly with only one hand, no standing up or forceful pushing required.
The ergonomic seating system has been engineered to support the body. The segmented design of 26.7-inch high backrest follows the spine’s natural curve, providing targeted support for both neck and lower back. The dual-layer cushioning with 6.2-inch high-density foam and soft 3D fibre filling offers exceptional support and comfort to adapt to different body shapes. The 18.3-inch seat height has been optimised to accommodate a wide range of users and achieve an ideal balance between leg support, sitting comfort and ease of standing up. The 22.4-inch seat width provides a spacious and comfortable room for users of all body types.
