Charlize Chair

The Charlize Chair is an upholstered dining arm chair with a sleek, curved barrel back. The back wraps around the seat in one continuous padded band that doubles as the arms, so the chair feels enclosed and comfortable while keeping a low, open profile. It stands on four slim steel legs, shown in a brushed brass tone, which gives it a light, jewelry-like base under the soft upholstered body.

Shown in a muted green fabric, the Charlize has a refined, mid-century spirit that fits a hotel restaurant, a private dining room or a cocktail lounge. The wide 20.75" x 19.25" seat makes it a comfortable choice for long dinners, and it pairs well with marble, stone and dark wood tables.

Built for commercial use

The Charlize's steel frame is welded rather than bolted. The chair is tested to 400 lbs and tested internally to meet ANSI/BIFMA standards, and its foam and upholstery meet CAL TB 117-2013. It ships fully assembled and carries a 3-year frame structural warranty, plus a 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.
