Placidus Hooded Chair — Swivel
Tax included where applicable. Delivery and commissioning arranged by your concierge.
XAVORNEX Furniture — softness with a spine
The Placidus is a one-person harbour: hooded wings that turn the office down a stop, a quiet-return swivel that faces the window when the call ends, and wool that ages like a good coat.
Quiet furniture carries its silence in the structure: high backs that wrap the head's acoustic shadow, PET-felt shells that absorb rather than reflect, frames in steel and engineered timber built for contract use, and upholstery in wool blends rated for tens of thousands of rubs. The lounge stays a lounge; the sound stays at the sofa.

Care
Vacuum wool upholstery weekly on low; blot spills, never rub. Rotate seat cushions monthly, check feet glides each season, and re-tension covers at the yearly service if fitted. Upholstery panels are replaceable — ask before you retire a piece.
Questions, Answered
How heavy are the pieces to move?
Weights are listed and glides are floor-kind; high-backs move on two people and ten metres of patience. Castor options exist where rearranging is weekly sport.
Does furniture really change room acoustics?
High backs and felt shells absorb and shadow speech at the point it starts, dropping the room's babble floor. It complements panels; it does not replace them — we will say which your room needs first.
