The Antonio Chair is a modern shell chair with a soft, tailored finish. A one-piece upholstered shell curves from a deep seat up into a rounded back, with fine top-stitching across its surface, and it sits on four slim, slightly splayed steel legs. The look is relaxed mid-century, easy to place in a bistro, a hotel dining room or a busy cafe.
The shell is upholstered in faux leather or leather, and the steel frame comes in a wide palette of powder coat colors and premium metal finishes, so the Antonio can be quiet and neutral or a bold color accent. It coordinates with the Antonio Bar Stool and the Antonio Chair with Sled Base for a consistent look across dining and bar seating.
The frame is welded steel, not bolted, so there are no joints to loosen over time. It is tested to 400 lbs and tested internally to meet ANSI/BIFMA standards, and the foam and upholstery meet CAL TB 117-2013. It ships fully assembled from the factory and is covered by our 3-year frame structural warranty and 1-year finish and upholstery warranty from shipment. Each chair comes standard with heavy-duty nylon glides, suitable for most commercial floor types, including hardwood, tile, stone, concrete and carpet.
Allow about 24" per seat at the table. Our restaurant seating layout guide walks through aisle widths and table spacing.
