Why a designer chair is more than "just" a chair
A high-quality chair immediately distinguishes itself, both visually and haptically, from a mass-produced item: The key factors here are material, craftsmanship, seating comfort, and appearance. A true designer chair brings character to your dining room – and is often the silent hero at every dinner party.
Icons like the Eames Plastic Chair, the Wishbone Chair, or the Series 7 have shown for decades: Good design outlasts every short-lived trend and proves how to recognize a good designer chair: By its clear design language, durable materials, and its ability to remain modern even after decades.
Upholstered chairs or wooden chairs? What matters
Whether classic wooden chair or comfortable upholstered chairs – the decisive factors for all products are above all quality and ergonomics:
Material: Solid wood, steel, and easy-care fabrics that last for years, visually fit your home, and are easy to clean.
Craftsmanship: Clean edges, stable connections, and craftsmanship instead of assembly line production.
Comfort: A chair you can sit on for hours without getting a backache.
Sustainability: Replaceable elements and durable construction – this way the chair remains part of your furnishing and creates a beautiful ambiance, even if your style changes.
The most important dimensions for a good designer chair
The ideal seat height for a dining chair is between 45 and 48 cm with a standard table height of 74 to 76 cm. This ensures good and back-friendly sitting even for longer periods. It is the perfect height for eating or working. It's best to plan for 60 cm of width per chair so that no one feels cramped. Behind the backrest, it is recommended to leave about 80 to 100 cm free so that you can comfortably stand up without the chair being pushed against the wall or other objects.
Why designer chairs are worth their price
A genuine designer chair costs more because it simply offers more. It is made from durable materials, precisely and sustainably crafted, guarantees comfort, provides joy for generations, and of course, looks outstanding.
