Classic Contemporary Dining Chairs

If you're not sure which dining chair to choose, you can't go wrong with a classic, contemporary style. Classic dining chairs feature simple designs, sleek lines and comfortable seats. Here are some of our bestselling classic chairs. 

The Magda Ml Dining Chair by Cattelan Italia is not only one of the brand's bestsellers, it is also one of the most popular dining chairs on the market. IT features an enveloping backrest, an elegantly padded seat and a solid wood frame. The chair is also available in the XL version with a wider seat and the Couture version featuring a glamorous diamond-quilted back. Choose from a variety of colours to perfectly complement your dining area.

The Wilma Dining Chair by Cattelan Italia has a stylish, minimal silhouette with a sloped back and rounded corners. The steel frame is topped by the fully upholstered seat in a choice of fabric, synthetic leather, synthetic nubuck, micro nubuck or soft leather. The classic style makes it a winner for even the most motley of dining areas.

The Two Tone Dining Chair by Sovet Italia Chair is a versatile and comfortable, featuring an ash frame in natural or stained black finish. The lightly padded foam seat is covered in either 100% Italian cattle leather or Kvadrat wool upholstery. The chair is stackable up to 4 chairs at a time, making it especially useful if you need chairs for a larger group but don't have sufficient space to place them individually in the room.

Luxury Plush Dining Chairs

A mark of a true luxury dining chair is a plush velvet seat or a gold-gilded frame. Basically more throne than chair, these modern luxury dining chairs will feel right at home in a cosy space while adding an extra dose of chutzpah; essentially the chair version of jazz hands. Here are some of our favourite plush dining chairs, ready to transport your seating experience into the region of royals.

The Emporium Fur Dining Chair by Boca Do Lobo looks like it comes straight out of the tongue-in-cheek TV show, The Royals. Deliciously over the top with a frivolous ornate gold frame and a white furry seat, this piece is quite simply unforgettable. Buy one as a fun talking point or get the set for a categorically madcap statement.

The Bo 013 Dining Chair by al2 is a gorgeously plush padded chair with durable yet soft upholstery that comes in a range of colours. It's almost indecently comfortable like it belongs in a living room enjoying life as an armchair instead of around the dining table. The seat and legs are always made of wood in finishes including oak, walnut and smoked eucalyptus. This is a "sit and chat for hours" kind of chair, the one you choose when you want to spend leisurely time at the table with a nightcap instead of moving to the sofa.

Eichholtz completes our plush dining chair picks with a decadent retro revival that draws inspiration from the silhouettes of mid-century dining chairs, the Volante Beige Velvet Dining Chair. You'll instantly feel cocooned in its curved back and sumptuous soft seat, while tapered black legs with brass tips complete the royal look.

Avant-Garde Dining Chairs

Not every dining chair fits into the classic style or princely palace collection. Some use highly contrasting materials, utterly outlandish designs or simply don't fit easily into any obvious category of chair. These are our unique designer dining chairs that are all set to make a splash in your living space. 

Eichholtz has a chair for every occasion, as evidenced by the uniquely designed Niclas Classic Black Dining Chair. Designed in the style of iconic Chandigarh furniture, this solid wood chair reflects the vintage designs from the 50s and 60s. The contrasting rattan in the seat and backrest create an eye-catching piece that looks as if it could be at home in the garden, adding the dimension of bringing the outdoors inside.

Sleek and beautiful, Cattelan's Tina Dining Chair is a bit more than classic and a bit less than luxe. It's a blend of elegance and unusual austerity, combining tufted upholstery with a titanium frame. It feels both old and new at the same time and adds a captivating style to your dining area.

The Mirage Dining Chair by Giorgio Collection features an extra tall back in quilted first-grade leather or our personal favourite, lizard printed leather. You can also choose velvet or suede fabric for a more opulent feel.
