Emerson Graph Chair

The Emerson Graph Chair is an outdoor arm chair with a relaxed, handcrafted feel. A woven faux wicker shell curves around the back and flows into the arms in a single, generous sweep, with an open grid weave that feels breezy and light. The shell sits on a welded steel frame with solid teak legs, and a cushioned seat adds comfort for long lunches and evening service.

The seat cushion is available with optional quick dry foam in Sunbrella or other outdoor performance fabric, and the frame is powder coated in smooth or textured finishes. The Emerson Graph coordinates with the Emerson Graph Stool and the wire-frame Emerson models, and it belongs to our Al Fresco, Coastal and Rooftop, and Lobby and Lounge collections.

Built for commercial use

The steel frame is welded, not bolted, and paired with solid teak legs suited to outdoor use. As part of our Al Fresco line it is UV-resistant and built for year-round outdoor use. It is tested to 400 lbs and tested internally to meet ANSI/BIFMA standards, and its foam and upholstery meet CAL TB 117-2013. The chair 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.
