City Loft Dining Arm Chair

A rounded back rail, a dished seat and spindles enough to keep everyone in line.

The City Loft Dining Arm Chair is made of waxed oak and pine. Chairs of this low-backed, round-armed shape descend from captain's and office chairs that were common in the 19th and early 20th centuries. A curved crest rail sweeps around to meet straight arms, supported by flat vertical spindles at the back and sides. The thick saddle seat sits on four square legs joined by an H-shaped arrangement of stretchers. The wood has a pale honey tone with visible grain and a soft waxed sheen. It is 23.5 inches long, 22.5 deep and 31.5 high.

Good at dinner, better at lingering after it.
