Know before you buy
The side chair and armchair share the same seat depth and back height, but the armchair is slightly wider at 22¾ inches to accommodate integrated armrests. The armchair also features an arm height of 26¼ inches, which is important to check against your dining table's apron to ensure the chair can tuck in properly.
Hard Hide Leather is a durable, structured material that maintains its shape well over time. It is a practical choice for dining environments, though it should be wiped clean with a soft, dry cloth and kept away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from drying out.
Yes, the chair is ergonomically engineered with a slightly curved backrest and a deep seat designed to provide consistent lumbar support. The combination of the supportive metal frame and the structured leather seat allows for comfortable seating during extended meals.
Yes, the Shape chair allows you to choose between matching or contrasting stitching for the Hard Hide Leather upholstery. This detail allows you to either blend the seams into the leather for a monochromatic look or highlight the chair's silhouette with a decorative accent.
The seat height for both the side chair and armchair configurations is 18½ inches. This is a standard height that pairs well with most modern dining tables, which typically sit between 29 and 31 inches high.
