Modern Armchairs for Swivel, Recliner and Compact Seating
VAMA modern armchairs cover different seating needs rather than one single style: compact lounge chairs, swivel models, manual recliners with integrated footrests and a space-saving armchair bed. Configurable models can be adapted in upholstery, colour and selected construction details, while exact photographed pieces are described separately. For a traditional contrast based on deep buttoning, compare our Chesterfield armchairs.
How to Choose a Modern Armchair
Compact lounge armchairs
Barcelona and Free prioritise a small footprint and a strong visual identity. They are useful as occasional seating in living rooms, bedrooms, offices and reception spaces.
Swivel armchairs
Golden uses a disc base that allows the seat to rotate, making it practical where one chair needs to face different areas of the room. The collection includes both configurable and exact photographed Golden versions.
Manual recliner armchairs
Nikita and India add an integrated footrest without an electric motor. Nikita also separates the footrest and backrest controls, while India focuses on a high-back ergonomic profile.
Armchair bed for a guest room
The armchair bed converts one seat into a single sleeping solution with a thick mattress and pillow storage. For larger convertible seating, see our sofa beds.

Pair these chairs with our modern sofas, choosing mechanisms and proportions according to how the room is actually used.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a swivel chair and a recliner?
A swivel chair rotates on its base. A recliner changes the sitting angle and may also include a footrest. Nikita combines both functions, while Golden focuses on swivel movement.
Which modern armchair is best for a small room?
Free and Barcelona have the most compact footprints in this category. Always compare the listed external dimensions with circulation space around the chair.
Do the recliner armchairs need electricity?
Nikita and India use manual mechanisms, so their reclining functions do not require an electric motor.
Can the armchair bed be used as a real guest bed?
It opens into a single sleeping surface with a thick mattress, removable mattress cover and optional memory-foam mattress.
