Chicago High Back Lounge Chair with Square Stitching

The Chicago High Back Lounge Chair with Square Stitching is a tall, tailored lounge chair with real presence. Its high back and deep seat are upholstered in a grid of square stitched panels, shown in black leather, giving the surface a quilted, tufted look without buttons. The cushions rest in a slim frame with angled legs, and straight, open arms keep the silhouette light even though the chair offers full high-back support.

The frame is polished stainless steel, with a brass frame available. It is the kind of chair that anchors a lobby reading corner or a club library, and it pairs well with dark woods and warm lighting. A matching ottoman is offered, and the chair is part of our Alpine Lodge and Steakhouse Collections.

Design details

• High, gently reclined back for full support
• Square stitched panels on the seat and back

Built for commercial use

The steel frame is welded rather than bolted. The piece 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 from the factory and carries a 3-year frame structural warranty, plus a 1-year finish and upholstery warranty from shipment. Each lounge chair comes standard with heavy-duty nylon glides, suitable for most commercial floor types, including hardwood, tile, stone, concrete and carpet.
