Arozzi Vernazza SoftFabric gaming chair, fabric, up to 145 kg, Purple

SoftFabric is the Vernazza version with soft fabric covering the seat and backrest. Fabric feels warmer and softer to the touch than leather-look surfaces, which makes it pleasant over long sessions. The purple colour makes the chair a visible part of the room and suits anyone who does not want yet another black chair. The fabric composition and care instructions are not given by the manufacturer.

The manufacturer describes Vernazza as a chair designed for support and comfort, with a spacious seat and two soft support pillows. In gaming chairs such pillows are usually meant for the lower back and the neck, so you can place them to suit your body or remove them altogether. Pillow dimensions and the way they attach are not listed.

The chair height is adjustable, so the seat can be set to match your desk and leg length. The backrest is adjustable too, and the 3D armrests move in three directions, usually up and down, forward and back and with a swivel. That lets the forearm rest at keyboard or mouse level. Adjustment ranges in centimetres and the recline angle in degrees are not published.

The manufacturer calls the Vernazza frame sturdy: the load-bearing part is metal and the wheel base is aluminium. An aluminium base is stiffer than a plastic one and does not flex under load. The maximum load is 145 kg, so the chair also suits heavier users. It weighs 26 kg, which makes it stable but heavy to lift.

Vernazza SoftFabric suits someone who sits at a PC or console for long stretches and prefers soft fabric to a leather-look cover. The spacious seat, two pillows and a frame rated for 145 kg make it a solid option for users with a larger build as well. The same chair is also available in a Soft PU version if a wipe-clean surface matters more than the softness of fabric.
