Chic Director Chair

Design

The Talenti Chic Director Chair brings a clean, confident presence to the table. Its silhouette is lean and modern, with that unmistakable director-chair attitude pared back to essentials. Lines stay crisp, crossings are deliberate, and the overall gesture is calm rather than showy. It reads as Italian without trying—balanced, assured, and quietly expressive.

Color does the rest. In white, the chair brightens a room and adds a fresh counterpoint to darker woods or stone. In dove-grey, it softens the scene with a measured, neutral tone that never competes. Either way, the look stays understated, which is exactly why it works beside both classic paneling and a contemporary slab table.

Materials & Build

The frame is aluminum, chosen for its strength-to-weight ratio and clean finish. It holds its geometry without heaviness, keeping the chair poised and stable. The seat and back are finished in texteline, selected for its resilient hand and tidy surface. Nothing is overworked here; materials are used for what they do best, then left to speak for themselves.

At about 13.2 lb, it moves easily when the setting shifts, yet sits with authority when service begins. It is built as a non-stackable piece to preserve its posture and proportions. A protective cover is available for those who like to keep pieces pristine between seasons or settings.

Comfort

Comfort is a matter of posture and proportion, and this chair gets both right. The seat height is about 18.1 inches, which feels natural at most dining tables, while the armrests rise to about 26.0 inches to support the forearm without crowding the edge. Width is about 21.7 inches, depth about 21.3 inches, and overall height about 32.7 inches—generous enough to relax into, compact enough to keep the conversation close.

Support comes from the taut texteline that meets the body instead of resisting it. The aluminum frame holds that tension with quiet confidence, so dinners can run long and still feel easy. And when the day shifts from meal to notes and a laptop, the chair keeps its composure there as well.

Placement & Lifestyle

The Chic Director Chair threads the line between formal and familiar. In a dining room, it refines the setting without making it stiff. In a breakfast nook, it brings order without stealing warmth. White brightens a corner and plays well with sunlight; dove-grey tempers bold materials and ties mixed finishes together. The effect is cohesive rather than matchy, which is often the point.

It suits spaces that prefer clarity over fuss—homes that live with art and open shelves, or rooms that lean on texture rather than pattern. And it adapts. One chair pulled to a writing desk works. A full set around a table makes an easy, connected scene.

Longevity

Durability here is not a slogan; it’s the sum of considered decisions. Aluminum resists fatigue and keeps its stance. Texteline maintains its surface and tension over time. Joints stay quiet. Edges stay clean. Paired with a cover, upkeep is straightforward and the finish stays fresh.

As part of the Chic collection from Talenti, the chair is designed to live with a home as it evolves—new paint, new table, same sure footing. The Chic Director Chair doesn’t ask for attention every day. It earns it over years, through steady comfort, measured style, and a build that holds its line.
