What components are necessary to create the perfect dining experience? Food and ambiance, of course, but also the furniture. A quality dining chair will incorporate style, comfort, and ergonomics to help create memorable dining experiences and ensure continued relaxation throughout the duration of your meal. When upholstered in leather, this durable, classic material can imbue a sense of distinctive sophistication into the dining room. This week, we’re highlighting five dining chairs that showcase the refined, elegant sophistication of leather upholstery.
MATER DINING CHAIR
Space Copenhagen
Designed by Space Copenhagen, Mater’s Dining Chair is a beautifully fluid and sculptural chair which features a generously rounded backrest and seat for a heightened sense of comfort, all while maintaining a slim footprint. Created for comfort and enjoyment, the backrest and seat are upholstered in soft, durable leather, creating a fully supportive and comfortable seat, eliminating the need for armrests. The frame is made of sustainably-sourced oak or beech and is offered in multiple leather upholstery options.
TRE 3
Angelo Mangiarotti
A true showstopper, Tre 3 is instantly identifiable by its three rectangular legs and topstitched leather sling seat. Designed by Mangiarotti nearly fifty years ago, the Tre 3 is an icon of 1970s postmodern design, yet also feels uniquely suited for the present moment. A foray into the use of organic materials, Tre 3 represents Mangiarotti’s exploration of Nordic design, and serves as an homage to his place in design history. Frame available in natural or dark solid oak. Seat available in natural or black leather.
VIVA
David Regestam
David Regestam set out to design a chair with the intention of creating a cozy and intimate seating experience. The result is Viva, an elegant and eye-catching dining chair with an emphasis on comfort, which becomes even more elegant with a leather-upholstered shell. Viva’s juxtaposition of both contemporary and mid-century elements ensure that the design will blend seamlessly into a wide range of spaces, while still offering unparalleled style. Made exclusively of environmentally sustainable materials, Viva is as eco-conscious as it is refined.
LINEA RMT3
Rudi Merz
A testament to traditional Finnish workmanship, the Linea series is characterized by soft curves and traditional joinery. The Linea RMT3 chair’s most recognizable component is the distinctive, rounded backrest, which provides functional comfort and an intriguing visual element. The chair is made of Northern European ash with an oiled or stained finish and leather upholstered seat, and can easily function as an individual side chair or dining chair.
KAWARA
Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec
Inspired by Sori Yanagi’s iconic Butterfly stool, the Bouroullec brothers have created a gorgeous chair which combines the high-quality details of Japanese craftsmanship with European design, while showcasing the ingenuity of solid wood furniture. The Kawara Armchair is a beautiful moulded wood veneer chair, with a three-dimensionally contoured back and armrest—ergonomic, geometric, and a pleasure to look at. With the option of leather or fabric seat, the resulting contrast between organic wood and premium quality upholstery takes this design to the next level.
