As of this week, Robbie Williams can add the title of furniture designer to his existing professional accomplishments as the iconic singer and songwriter reveals his first ever lounge chair design created in collaboration with Dutch furniture brand Moooi, called the Introvert Chair.
As Moooi is a luxury brand, it’s no surprise that the Introvert Chair by Robbie Williams is selling for £3460 a pop at Holloways of Ludlow. But there is more to this chair than meets the eye.
Just based on aesthetics alone, it’s one of the best swivel chairs I’ve seen – because yes, it comes with a rotating swivel function.

Of course, we’re used to seeing collections from celebrities, but it usually involves something on a smaller scale like home accessories, as is the case with Amanda Holden’s QVC range, or paint, much like Stacey Dooley’s collaboration with COAT. But instead, Robbie just went straight into designing furniture with Moooi.

The Introvert Chair by Robbie Williams
Designed to be ‘part sculpture, part sanctuary’ rather than simply a chair, the Introvert Chair (as the name suggests) is created for introverts or for anyone who needs to disconnect from the hectic everyday life. That’s why it boasts a comfortable wraparound design aiming to be reminiscent of a hug, with soft yet tactile upholstery in soothing ivory, made with a blend containing alpaca, virgin wool and cotton. It’s a comforting and ‘quiet’ design, but a statement one at the same time.
‘The Introvert Chair is more than just a place to lounge, it’s a whole mood,’ Robbie says. ‘In a world that rarely slows down, we often crave a place of respite, and this chair is just that. Its soft fabric and gentle curves create a sanctuary that offers complete comfort and calm, reminding me of the power art and design have… not only in shaping our spaces, but in transforming how we feel within them.’
More affordable alternatives
If you like the look of Robbie Williams’ Introvert Chair but can’t quite justify the price tag, I found a handful of similar-looking swivel chairs that are much more budget friendly. But who knew that even a Soho Home armchair like this one could one day seem like the affordable buy?!
Sofa Village
Atrani Teddy Boucle Swivel Accent Chair
Complete with a similar bubble upholstery effect, this boucle chair looks the closest in design to Robbie’s design.
Next
Hague Swivel Accent Chair
If you’re willing to forego the textured finish, this Next design is the one I’d likely go for. It just looks so sleek and like a designer piece without the crazy price tag.
Dunelm
Elena Scalloped Swivel Chair
Featuring a more traditional and classic look compared to the Introvert Chair, this Dunelm swivel is a popular one with customers. So much so that after it sold out, many eagerly anticipated its return.
A luxury lounge chair designed by Robbie Williams may not have been on my 2025 bingo card, but (perhaps surprisingly) I’m here for it, especially as the design is something a little different.
