How to choose the right chair: for the kitchen and dining room

Given the variety of products on the market, choosing a chair is no easy task. The first thing that needs to be taken into account is certainly the exact purpose of use that our chair will have. The office chair will not be suitable for use in the kitchen, just as the chair intended for the living room will not be suitable for a table or terrace. Depending on the method of use, the chair must meet a number of requirements. It is necessary to take into account the shape of the space, layout and equipment with which the seat will relate. For example, in a kitchen or dining room, the height of the seat should be such as to allow for comfortable eating. Avoid chairs with armrests that may interfere with the tabletop, or chairs that are too heavy. Particular attention should also be paid to materials that are practical, functional, hygienic and easy to clean. For those with little space and a lot of friends, stacking or folding chairs are sure to be great.

Wooden or plastic chairs: tradition or modern?

There are many materials to choose from. which can be made backrests, seats and chair bases, from the most traditional to the most modern. First of all, wood. Fully or with an upholstered seat or backrest, a wooden chair is an all-time necessity. The timeless charm of the veins and the curvature of the wood of the back and legs remain ingrained in the production and design of modern chairs and design as well as other materials. However, in classic chairs, wood was and is a strong point. This material has always been used to model and create unique and articulated details, often associated with the ancient traditions of crafts and carpentry. Plastic chairs and innovative plastics are sure to compete with wooden chairs. Among them we have such materials as technopolymer, polypropylene, polycarbonate, glass fiber, etc. Ideal for making light and durable stacking chairs, plastic allows for shaping to bring modern shapes and structures to life, allows for linear models that play with geometric shapes and weaves, as is the case with polycarbonate and polypropylene seats - transparent or colored - possibly glass fiber reinforced. In addition to the icons mentioned above, many of the chairs that have been a staple in the history of this facility have been made using innovative plastic injection techniques.

Upholstered chairs: which fabrics to choose?

Both in style classic as well as modern, plastic, wooden or metal chairs are often integrated with upholstered elements to make the seats soft and comfortable. From chairs with an integrated cushion to the backrest or just the armrest, you can also reach for a padded and fully upholstered chair. A kind of a small armchair, but with the dimensions and proportions of the chair. The most commonly used floor coverings are made of synthetic fibers. From acrylic, microfiber and polyester chairs to those with more traditional fabrics such as wool, velvet and linen chairs, we can reach for eco-leather or leather chairs that are alternatives in terms of cleanliness and practicality.

Designer chairs, timeless icons

An indispensable element in the home, the most famous designers have always turned this simple furniture into an object of artistic value, able to raise the aesthetics of the space. Timeless designer chairs, icons and endless sources of reproduction are still found in modern furniture. A true classic is Michael Thonet's N ° 14 chair from 1859, the embodiment of rational and coherent aesthetic language through an unprecedented lightness and incredible resistance. From wood to plastic, the Panton 1960 chair, designed by Verner Panton, with its typical "S" shape, is considered one of the masterpieces of Danish design. It was the first chair made of a single sheet of plastic. The Panton chair is an icon of the 20th century and is also in the collections of many museums. Newer, but no less important, the Luis Ghost chair by Philippe Starck, made in 2002 for Kartell, is the boldest example of injecting polycarbonate in a single mold. Resistant, stable, resistant to shocks and weather conditions, but with a fleeting and crystalline appearance, it initiated a small revolution in the world of furniture.
