The Phoenix Dining Chair is 54cm wide, 60cm deep and 85cm high, with a seat at 48cm and a curved back. It is upholstered in Field, a 100% polyester fabric. It arrives fully assembled.

The seat height is the number to check against your table. At 48cm this sits at the taller end of the usual dining range, which suits a table at the taller end too and gives more thigh clearance for anyone above average height.

A curved back on a slim chair is doing structural work as much as visual. The curve stiffens a thin backrest so it can flex slightly under load without feeling flimsy, which is how a lightweight chair stays comfortable through a long meal.

Being light is a real advantage in a room that changes use. A chair that can be carried one-handed gets moved to the desk, the balcony or a second table; a heavy one stays where it was put and the room stays as it was.
