Geoffrey D. Harcourt distinguished himself with this series of swivel armchairs by its comfortable shape and striking upholstery. The idea for the F500 armchair came about because Harcourt’s girlfriend liked to curl up cross-legged. He was fascinated by this very feminine attitude. That resulted in the F500: a chair that has all the comfort of an easy chair and wide enough to accommodate this unusual seating pose.
