Classic finishes for upholstered chairs

Not only the design of a chair defines its style, but also the materials used and the way they are treated. This is why the materials and finishes of our classic pieces are drawn exclusively from a catalogue of classic-style samples, to maintain an authentic, refined and elegant classical style.

Wood, strictly solid, favours the warm, dark hues of oil-finished walnut, while metal goes in the opposite direction and is often juxtaposed with gold or silver leaves finishes. Satin or polished metal finishes in shades of bronze and brass are also good alternatives for a classic piece with a metal frame.

The classic upholstery par excellence remains leather, a noble material often used in shades of white and brown or the one inbetween. On the other hand, fabrics offer more freedom, given the variety of weaves and colours offered by our sample book. For its timeless elegance, velvet remains one of the most traditional choices, although modernised by bright shades such as blue, green or red.

Today one of the most popular trends is to combine a classic piece of furniture, such as an art deco or baroque chair, with modern furniture with neutral lacquered colours. That is why we made sure to include in our collection finishes and upholstery suitable for more contemporary spaces. Black and white lacquers and fabrics in bright and striking colours fit perfectly with older designs: we are able to revisit classics chairs with a modern spin and stylistic elements of the past meet the most up-to-date materials, for a elegant result of great aesthetic value.
