Design Chairs

What makes a chair a design piece

You recognise a true designer dining chair by its iconic shape, high-quality materials and often a well-known designer behind the silhouette. Our collection runs from classics to contemporary work: organic shapes, mid-century modern, Scandinavian and contemporary Italian design. Shape leads the way with these chairs, so form and function are carefully tuned to each other.

Materials you will find

Designer dining chairs are made from high-quality leather, premium fabrics, moulded wood, cast iron and modern polymers. Every material gives a different character: leather adds warmth and patina, fabric brings colour and texture, and moulded wood or polymer emphasises the pure line of the design. That way you choose not just on shape, but also on the feel the material gives.

Mix and match or a matching set

You can go for a uniform set that sits calmly around the table and repeats its shape, or for mix and match, a popular trend in which you combine different models. If you take the second route, keep one common thread, for example the same colour or the same material, so the result looks deliberate rather than accidental. An odd number accentuates the design look even further.

Comfort and posture

Design is about shape, and comfort is not always the designer's first priority. Most models sit perfectly well for a dinner, but it pays to take a seat beforehand. In our showroom in Enschede you can test the chair before you order a set, so you know for certain that the posture suits you.

Finishes and made to measure

With many designer dining chairs you can choose the fabric or leather colour, while the shape is usually fixed, because in design the shape is sacred. That way you match the chair to your table and interior without the design losing its character. We are happy to advise you on which finish best complements your existing furniture.
