Dining Chair James – Refined authority with timeless structure
Dining Chair James is a high-back upholstered dining chair defined by classical proportion and contemporary precision. With its upright posture and sculpted silhouette, James introduces dignified elegance to formal dining environments. Part of the Cornelius Modern Collection, it is designed for interiors that value structure, presence, and enduring craftsmanship.
A Distinguished Architectural Silhouette
Dining Chair James is characterised by its tall, composed backrest and balanced proportions. The upright profile creates visual authority, while subtle curvature softens the overall structure. Its silhouette is deliberate, structured yet welcoming, formal yet refined. The chair commands space without overwhelming it, making it ideal for symmetrical dining arrangements and statement tables.
Structured Comfort for Extended Use
Beneath its tailored exterior, Dining Chair James is engineered for long-lasting comfort. High-resilience foam padding supports the seat and back, maintaining shape and firmness over time. The upright seat angle encourages engaged dining posture, making James particularly suited for extended meals, executive meetings, and formal hospitality settings. A solid wood internal frame with reinforced joinery ensures durability for both residential and high-frequency commercial environments.
Tailored Upholstery with Depth
Dining Chair James is available in a curated selection of Cornelius house fabrics, including velvets, wools, bouclés, and contract-grade performance textiles chosen to enhance its structured profile. COM (Customer’s Own Material) upholstery is available for bespoke interiors, with studio support for swatching and coordinated specification.
Designed for Formal and Elevated Interiors
Dining Chair James integrates seamlessly into:
• Formal residential dining rooms
• Boutique hotel restaurants and lounges
• Executive boardrooms and private clubs

Its high-back form pairs beautifully with rich materials such as walnut, marble, travertine, and brass.
