Youngston Chair

The Youngston Chair brings a classic industrial look to the dining room with a sturdy steel frame and a comfortable upholstered seat pad. A flat, rectangular back panel sits on two upright posts, the square seat frame is wrapped by the cushion, and four straight legs are tied together by double stretchers on each side and finished with small leveling-style feet. It has the honest, utilitarian character of vintage workshop seating, refined for hospitality.

Powder coat colors range from classic black and charcoal to olive and other saturated tones, so the Youngston can lean heritage, playful or understated. Pair it with a leather, faux leather or performance fabric seat and you have a durable, easy-care side chair for busy restaurants, brewpubs and casino dining. It coordinates with the Youngston Stool and the Youngston Wood Series for a consistent look from dining room to bar.
