I am not a fan of scooters in a sense that I will never get on one. But whenever I see a Vespa, I am tempted to go back on that promise (until I remember how scared I am of two-wheeled vehicles) just because it’s very pretty and stylish. Now if I could have this aesthetic on something that I can actually use, then I would be happy.

The Scooter Chair is a swivel chair that repurposes parts of vintage Vespas to create a piece of furniture that may be as stylish as these luxury scooters. Each piece is handmade and can be customized to how you want it to look so it is also a luxury chair and may be more expensive than your regular, office swivel chair. But at least you can say you have the most stylish chair in your office if you get one.
Aside from being stylish, it is created to also be comfortable and sturdy since you will probably sit on it at least 6 hours a day. The seat is also ergonomic with its foam and upholstery finished with ribbed seams. It also has an adjustable height piston and a reclining mechanism for times when you need to rest and relax.
The customizable options include the color of the exterior structure, the type and tone of the upholstery (natural or synthetic leather), type of base (fixed or with wheels). You can also add some extra details to make it more luxurious like chrome-plated armrests, logos on the back, intermittent riders, or an original 8″ wheel and sideband. Of course all of this means you’ll have out a bit more compared to regular swivel chairs.
