The dining chair is the piece your guests spend the whole evening in, so comfort matters as much as looks. This collection runs from upholstered chairs that invite long, lingering dinners to sleek wooden and woven designs, with and without arms, in finishes for the formal dining room and the outdoor table alike. Browse the chairs below, then read our guide to seat height, arms, comfort, and pairing chairs with your table.
How to Choose Dining Chairs
Leave around 28cm to 30cm between the seat of the chair and the underside of the tabletop, so legs have room and diners sit at a comfortable height. Standard dining chairs have a seat around 45cm to 47cm high.
Armchairs at the head of the table feel gracious and support a longer sit, but they take more space and may not tuck under. A mix of armchairs at the ends and armless chairs along the sides is a classic solution.
Upholstered seats and backs invite people to linger over dinner, while wood and woven chairs are easier to wipe and move. For everyday family use, consider how the chairs will be cleaned.
Allow around 60cm of width per chair so guests are not bumping elbows, and make sure chairs can pull out without hitting a wall or sideboard.
Styles and Materials
Padded seats and backs in fabric or leather that make long dinners comfortable and add softness to the room.
Timber, cane, and rattan designs that bring natural texture and are easy to move and maintain.
Gracious, supportive chairs, often for the head of the table, that signal a more formal, considered setting.
Weatherproof teak, aluminium, and woven synthetic chairs that pair with an outdoor table for alfresco meals.
Which Dining Chair Suits Your Table?
Beautiful in a Set of Eight
A dining chair has to be beautiful in a set of six or eight and comfortable for hours, a harder brief than it sounds. Bonaldo and Gervasoni answer it with sculptural Italian designs and natural materials that pair effortlessly with a fine table. For outdoor dining, Talenti and Atmosphera bring weatherproof chairs that match their tables, while CPRN and Meridiani add upholstered designs for a more formal room. Because chairs are bought in numbers, it is worth choosing a design you can add to later. Melaaura can also arrange bespoke upholstery to tie the chairs to your scheme.
Around the Table
The Long, Lingering Dinner
Upholstered chairs with arms at the ends of the table invite guests to settle in and stay past dessert.
Mixed and Collected
Armless chairs along the sides and carvers at the ends strike the classic balance of comfort and space.
Dining Outdoors
Weatherproof chairs in teak and aluminium pull up to an outdoor table for long lunches in the sun.

Email a designerStandard dining chairs have a seat around 45cm to 47cm high, which leaves roughly 28cm to 30cm between the seat and a standard tabletop. That gap keeps legs comfortable and diners at the right height to eat.
Armchairs feel gracious and support a longer sit, but they take up more room and may not tuck under the table. A common solution is to place armchairs at the head and foot and armless chairs along the sides.
Allow about 60cm of width per chair so guests have elbow room. A 180cm table seats six, while 200cm to 240cm seats eight. Round tables seat people a little more flexibly.
Not exactly. Many designers deliberately mix a wood table with upholstered or contrasting chairs for a more collected look. Aim for harmony in style and proportion rather than a matching set.
They are very comfortable for long meals, though fabric needs more care than wood. Performance fabrics and leather are more forgiving for everyday and family use, wiping clean easily.
