Know before you buy
The primary difference is the width. The armchair measures 22.8 inches wide to accommodate the integrated armrests, while the side chair is more compact at 18.5 inches wide, making it better suited for tighter dining table configurations.
Leather and eco-leather options are generally easier to wipe clean, making them ideal for dining areas. Fabric upholstery offers a softer, more textured feel but may require professional cleaning or fabric protection treatments depending on the material chosen.
The slim four-legged metal base is sturdy and stable on most flat surfaces. If you have delicate hardwood floors, we recommend using felt glides to prevent potential scratching.
Yes, the vertically extended backrest is designed to provide substantial support for the upper and mid-back. Its ergonomic profile balances the chair's retro aesthetic with the comfort required for extended periods of sitting.
Absolutely. The Amelie’s sophisticated, minimalist design and Italian craftsmanship make it a popular choice for meeting rooms and executive spaces where a blend of comfort and professional style is required.
