The Carlo Dining Chair in Burgundy is fully upholstered in 100% PU, rated 20,000 on the Martindale scale. Seat height is 475mm and seat depth is 430mm. The back rises 370mm above the seat.

Burgundy is a committed colour and it behaves like one. It reads almost black in low light and shows its red only under lamps or daylight, which makes it a dramatic choice for a dining room used mostly in the evening and a quieter one for a room that gets the morning sun.

The seat proportions are the argument for this chair over a plain side chair. At 475mm the seat sits a little higher than most dining chairs, which suits a taller table, and 430mm of depth is enough to sit properly back into. The 20,000 Martindale rating is modest, so treat this as a considered dining room chair rather than one for a kitchen table that takes school lunches every morning.
