The Carlo Dining Chair in Petrol sits on a powder-coated iron frame, upholstered in 100% PU. Its seat is 460mm high, 460mm wide and 445mm deep, with the back 370mm above it. The Martindale rating is 20,000.

Petrol is a deep blue-green, the colour of the sea on an overcast day, and it is the boldest way to buy this chair without going to black. It works best in a room with something warm in it, timber or brass, to stop the coolness taking over entirely.

This is the version where the frame is actually named: powder-coated iron, a heavier and more rigid structure than a fabric-covered leg. Powder coating also takes knocks against a table leg without marking the way an upholstered surface would. The seat is a genuine 460mm square with 445mm of depth, which is roomier than the compact external dimensions suggest.
