Janis Chair

Designed with Character

The Janis Chair from Talenti takes its name from the bold, free-spirited energy of Janis Joplin — and carries that same sense of individuality into its form. But this isn’t a loud piece. The lines are clean, well-proportioned, and quietly confident. It’s the kind of chair that holds its own in a room without demanding attention.

Essential in shape but full of personality. That balance is what makes it work in contemporary interiors that value authenticity over decoration.

Materials and Construction

Underneath the upholstery, the frame is built from flexible polyurethane with an integrated metal insert and built-in spring systems. That combination gives the chair a subtle responsiveness — it supports the body without feeling rigid. The seat cushion is filled with polyester fiber, and the glides are die-cast aluminium with thermoplastic polymer caps to protect flooring.

What sets the Janis apart is its continuous upholstery, which wraps over the structural components rather than sitting on top of them. Available in fabric across categories A through LUX, or in leather in categories F and G LUX, this full-cover approach adds a layer of material richness that most dining chairs simply don’t offer. Metal finishes come in three options: Burnished, Chrome, or Glossy Black. The chair weighs roughly 8.8 lbs and has a seat height of approximately 18.5 inches.

Comfort at the Table

A dining chair has one job at its core, and that’s to make sitting comfortable for the length of a meal — and then some. The Janis handles this well. The flexible polyurethane frame and integrated springs create a seat that gives just enough. It’s welcoming without being soft in a way that loses structure.

And because the upholstery extends across the entire form, there are no hard edges or exposed joints pressing against the body. It feels considered.

Where It Belongs

This is a dining chair, but it doesn’t need to stay at the table. Its compact footprint and refined proportions make it just as fitting pulled up to a desk or placed in a bedroom corner. The Talenti Janis reads well in spaces that lean modern and value a sense of personal expression — interiors where every piece is chosen, not just placed.

The range of upholstery and metal finish options means it can adapt. Dress it in a muted leather for something understated, or go with a textured fabric to bring warmth. It fits the room rather than fighting it.

Built to Stay

The engineering here isn’t complicated, but it’s solid. A metal-reinforced frame, quality upholstery materials, and durable aluminium glides — these are the details that keep a chair looking and feeling right years into daily use. It’s not about overbuilding. It’s about building smart, with materials that hold up and a construction method that doesn’t cut corners.
