What is a rounded chair called?
What a rounded chair is called depends on its design. A rounded upholstered chair with a deep seat is a barrel back, while one that features a pedestal base and a round removable cushion is a Papasan chair. Chairs with rounded backs and narrow waists made of exposed wood are balloon back chairs. On 1stDibs, find an assortment of chairs from some of the world’s top sellers.
