More About This Item
Maroon and gold. Tufted. Nailhead trim running the perimeter of the arms. A geometric swirl pattern that feels simultaneously Regency and Hollywood. At 38 inches wide, these Robinson swivel chairs are not small — they have the generous, enveloping scale of furniture that was chosen for a significant room, not squeezed into a corner. Which tracks: these came from Jim Irsay's home theater room, part of the estate of the late Indianapolis Colts owner, where they were presumably the most comfortable seats in a room already dedicated to the best possible viewing experience.

The upholstery tells the whole design story. Maroon with a gold swirl geometric — a colorway and pattern that manages to be theatrical without tipping into kitsch, rich without being oppressive. The tufting adds depth and dimension to the back, while the nailhead trim on the arms grounds the whole piece in traditional upholstery craft. On swivel bases, they can pivot to any position in a room — toward a screen, toward a conversation, toward a view. At 34 inches high and 37 inches deep, they offer proper seated support without the low-slung instability of some contemporary chair designs.

Original retail was $7,968 for the pair. What they offer at Chairish pricing is one of the more straightforward value calculations in this batch of listings.

Design Style
Traditional / Regency-influenced, with a colorway that reads as boldly curated. The maroon-and-gold palette has deep roots in formal English and American interiors — library colors, dining room colors, the palette of rooms built for seriousness and entertainment in equal measure. In a swivel format with tufting and nailhead detail, these chairs occupy the space between formal traditional and dramatic statement piece: they're too well-constructed and properly proportioned to feel theatrical, but too richly upholstered to fade into a neutral background.
They work in media rooms, libraries, formal living rooms, and any space that can absorb a strong color statement. Pair with warm woods, brass accents, and Persian or kilim rugs for maximum coherence.

Brand Legacy

Their upholstery line — from which the Robinson originates — is consistently specified by interior designers for solid frame construction, quality fill, and designs that balance style with genuine livability. The manufacturer's labels are under the seat cushions. The Jim Irsay estate origin adds a layer of cultural biography to a pair of already-significant chairs. See less
