20 Dining Chairs, In Stock: Choosing by Style and Use
A dining set gives the room its centre, and the chairs carry as much of its character as the table does. The right one depends on how the room is used: long dinners, quick breakfasts, a table that doubles as a desk. Here is what is in stock, grouped by style.
In stock: upholstered shells, a swivel model, contemporary frames, mid-century wood, transitional wood-legged chairs, and hand-worked solid wood
Contemporary
Clean lines on a slim frame, open underneath, so the chair sits light in a room and lets it breathe. The look suits contemporary and Japandi interiors, and pairs easily with wood or stone tables. Serenity sets a rounded back on a thin metal frame; Contempo comes from David Girelli's line for Dantone Home.
Swivel
A hidden swivel changes how a table works. A diner can turn to talk or step away without moving the chairs on either side, which keeps the space around the table free. It earns its place in compact dining rooms and in open-plan spaces where the chair does more than one job.
Mid-Century
Legs that taper towards the floor and a considered tilt to the back. The sculptural wood forms suit eclectic, retro-modern rooms, and the slim profiles keep sightlines and daylight open across the table. Bradley comes in light or dark oak, with or without arms; Naomi sets a rolled back and a cylindrical bolster on oak, in leather or boucle.
Soft Minimal
Upholstered over the whole frame, these chairs read as soft shells with no hard edges. The volume of the fabric and the curve of the back hold the sitter through a long dinner, and the covered frame takes some of the sound out of a busy room. They sit well with tables of clean, simple geometry. Prime and Tyler carry soft arms, useful at the head of the table; Noble, Pierce, and Haven are armless, while Paul wears a loose cover.
Transitional
Upholstered seats on turned wood legs: traditional in shape, but stripped of ornament. Transitional is the middle ground between classic and contemporary, and it settles into a formal dining room and an everyday one alike. These pair with most wood tables. Brunel, Barns, Cole, Coin, Darvin, and Castle each take the idea a slightly different way, from a plain seat to open wood arms.
Rustic
Solid, hand-worked wood, with the grain and the marks of the making left visible. The texture brings a handmade note to a table and reads best as contrast, against glass, stone, or a polished surface. Camphora is carved from solid wood, Timor sets a woven cord seat on a black frame.
