Get the form and design that suits you

Do you like a curved back or straight? Think about the materials, style and function that suits your needs best. Our fully upholstered chairs have comfortable padding on the chair back and the seat, while some people prefer a chair with only the seat padded, we have them too. There’s more to form and design than the look, and you’re going to be sitting on the chair for a long time so choosing the right chair for you is an important process. Level of comfort, look, materials, functionality and robustness are all things to weigh up and balance when choosing the perfect dining chair.

Enjoy the comfort of a fully upholstered chair

Like to dine in style and comfort? Our fully upholstered chairs are perfect for long meals and enjoying after-dinner conversations with family and friends. A lighter, simpler alternative with modern design that goes with most decors, the upholstered seat distributes your body weight comfortably and reduces pressure on your lower back. The chair stands firmly in place thanks to the metal underframe and the cover is made of a soft polyester fabric with a felt look giving a two-toned, mélange effect. It’s as comfortable as it looks, and it does look very comfortable.

Chairs come in all shapes and sizes, just like the people who sit in them. A high chair makes it easier for the smallest ones to sit at the table with you. Our high chairs are made of tested materials, with raised edges to prevent spills, and they’re easy to take apart to take with you. Your child sits safely and securely, whether at home, at a friend’s place or in a cafe. Enjoy your meal knowing your child is enjoying theirs too. Don’t you wish it was just that easy? Hopefully this high chair will help you get to that place.

Handy stools let you squeeze in a few extra people round the table

The ever-dependable stool can find a space for people where dining chairs might not be able to. Stackable, 3-legged stools with bent legs and a triangular-shaped seat are a great little lifesaver when you need to squeeze in an extra person or two. Having three legs means the stools will never wobble, whatever the floor situation. There’s no back, so you can squeeze them in anywhere, and they’re easily stackable when you don’t need them. Your dependable three-legged friend.
