Emily Chair

The Emily Chair is a soft, contemporary dining chair with a sculpted, rounded shell. The seat and back flow together into a single upholstered form that curves gently around the sitter, with a subtle seam where the seat meets the back. Four slender steel legs, angled slightly outward, keep the base minimal and let the upholstered shell take center stage.

The Emily works beautifully in fabrics like the textured gray shown, as well as in velvets, leathers and faux leathers, and its steel frame can be powder coated in a wide range of colors and metallic finishes. With a generous 20" seat width, it offers lounge-like comfort at the dining table, making it a strong choice for upscale restaurants, hotel dining and private dining rooms.

Built for commercial use

The steel frame is welded, not bolted, for long-term rigidity. 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.
