Sinclair Chair

The Sinclair Chair is a generously sized, armless dining chair built for guests who like room to settle in. At 25" wide with a 25" x 19.5" seat, it offers noticeably more seating area than a typical side chair, while the fully upholstered back curves around the sitter and flares outward toward the top for a relaxed, enveloping feel. Welted seams trace the seat and back, and four solid wood legs, with rear legs that sweep back in a soft curve, give it a tailored, vintage-inspired profile.

With an 18.5" seat height and 34.25" overall height, the Sinclair delivers lounge-like comfort at dining height, making it a natural fit for long dinners, steakhouses, supper clubs and hotel dining rooms where guests linger. Its larger scale gives a dining room a more upscale, comfortable feel, and it pairs well with banquettes and larger four-top tables.
