Dining Chair James – A chair of character, designed to endure.

Dining Chair James is a tribute to classical refinement, a piece that draws on heritage silhouettes while offering contemporary comfort and precision craftsmanship. From its gently arched backrest to its tailored seat and sturdy base, James is a dining chair that brings dignity and depth to any setting.

Whether placed around a grand dining table or styled in an intimate salon, James brings formality without stiffness and elegance without excess.

A Distinguished Silhouette

At first glance, James speaks through its posture, upright, composed, and grounded. The high backrest offers a dignified presence, while subtle curves and expertly placed angles create a silhouette that feels considered from every perspective.

Its proportion is neither bulky nor minimal, striking the perfect balance between presence and restraint.

Comfort Built on Craftsmanship

James is as functional as it is elegant. The seat and back are generously padded with high-resilience foam, providing structured comfort that supports long meals and extended gatherings. The seat depth and upright support ensure that guests remain comfortable and engaged, no slouching, no sinking.

Internally, a solid wood frame and reinforced joints ensure structural durability, suitable for both refined residential dining and high-end hospitality applications.

Upholstery That Complements Its Presence

Dining Chair James is offered in a curated palette of house fabrics, including soft velvets, classic wools, tailored bouclés, and performance textiles. Each fabric is selected to elevate the form, emphasizing the chair’s tailored lines and classic contours.

Looking for something custom? James is available in COM (Customer’s Own Material), and our studio team can assist with fabric matching, tonal layering, and full interior coordination.

A Statement in Every Setting

Dining Chair James belongs naturally in:

• Formal dining rooms and curated private residences

• Boutique hotel restaurants and lounges

• Executive boardrooms or creative meeting spaces

• Classic interiors seeking a modern refinement

It pairs beautifully with rich materials like walnut, travertine, or brass,  and looks equally compelling in symmetrical settings or as a standalone accent.

James is part of the Cornelius Modern Collection, a family of sculptural, durable, and emotionally resonant furniture pieces. Crafted for interiors that value substance over trend, the collection offers timeless design with human-centred comfort.
