Know before you buy
The cantilevered base is engineered to provide a slight, natural flex when you sit, which offers ergonomic support and comfort. Despite this movement, the heavy-duty metal frame is designed to remain sturdy and stable under normal dining use.
The seat is specifically arched to cradle the body, providing a more supportive and 'wrapped' feeling than a flat chair. Combined with the padded edges, this design is intended to keep you comfortable through extended dinner parties.
Yes, Cattelan Italia offers a variety of high-quality fabrics and leathers suitable for dining environments. If you have a busy household, you may want to prioritize the synthetic leather or performance fabrics, which are generally easier to wipe clean than delicate bouclé or nubuck.
Yes, the metal base is available in several finishes, including black embossed, graphite, bronze, and titanium. We recommend checking your table's hardware or leg finish to ensure a cohesive look.
Because these chairs are non-cancellable and non-returnable, we highly recommend requesting fabric swatches if you are unsure about the texture or color. Consider the lighting in your dining room and how the material will hold up against your specific lifestyle needs.
The chair measures 25 5/8 inches wide by 23 5/8 inches deep, with a total height of 31 7/8 inches. With a seat height of 18 1/2 inches, it is designed to fit comfortably under standard dining tables, but be sure to measure your table's apron clearance to ensure the arms or seat height won't interfere.
