Velvet Upholstery

Velvet upholstery is a luxurious and highly sought-after choice for dining chairs due to its exceptional tactile qualities and elegant visual appeal. Our velvet is made from a carefully curated blend of polyester and cotton fibres, and the manufacturing process involves weaving these fibres into a dense pile fabric.

What sets our velvet apart is the specific method of weaving we use which results in its hallmark soft and plush texture. This process creates a series of closely spaced, evenly cut loops on the fabric's surface, which we then shear to create a smooth, dense pile. The loops and their uniform distribution are key to velvet's characteristic feel and shimmering appearance. 

The result is a fabric that exudes opulence and sophistication, making it a popular upholstery choice for those looking to infuse a touch of luxury into their dining spaces. Our velvet upholstery undergoes rigorous testing to ensure its durability, preventing issues like bobbling or fraying over time, making it a reliable choice for long-lasting dining chair upholstery.

Key Benefits

• Enhanced Stain Resistance: The fabric undergoes treatments to make it more resistant to stains, making it a practical choice for dining chairs. Minor accidental spills are easier to clean, preventing long-term damage and maintaining the chairs' aesthetic appeal.
• High Abrasion Resistance: Our polyester velvet boasts a Martindale rub count around 50,000, exceeding industry standards for heavy-duty use. This translates to exceptional resistance to pilling, fraying and tearing, making it ideal for high-traffic dining areas and frequent use.
• Soft & Plush Texture: The densely woven pile creates a luxuriously soft and inviting surface, providing exceptional comfort while seated. This is further enhanced by the inherent suppleness of polyester fibres, which drape and conform to the body for added comfort.
• Breathable Fabric: Despite its dense pile, our polyester velvet exhibits good breathability, allowing air to circulate and preventing excessive heat build-up, especially during warmer months. This contributes to a more comfortable dining experience.
• Low Maintenance: The smooth, non-porous surface of polyester velvet resists dust and dirt accumulation, making it easy to maintain. Regular vacuuming with an upholstery attachment is sufficient for removing dust and debris.
• Fire Retardancy: Our polyester velvet fabric is fire-resistance tested, complying with the UK fire safety standards for your peace of mind.
• Crafted for Comfort: Elevate your dining posture with our ergonomically crafted chairs. The thoughtfully designed contours and high-quality foam ensure proper support, reducing strain on your back and promoting a comfortable seating experience.

Matte Black Powder Coated Metal Legs

Crafted with precision, these dining chairs feature metal legs diligently shaped and welded to create a sturdy and stable foundation. We then apply a matte black powder coating through an electrostatic spray, where finely ground powder particles are evenly distributed across the metal surface. It's then cured under controlled heat to ensure a long-lasting finish that resists wear and tear, protecting your dining chairs from corrosion and damage, all while adding a sleek, contemporary touch to your dining space.

Foam Cushioning

Our dining chairs are fitted with thoughtfully crafted foam cushioning, made from high-quality polyurethane foam. The manufacturing process is extensive, starting with the precise combination of chemical ingredients like polyols and isocyanates. This controlled reaction produces a foam-like material. By introducing gas, we expand this mixture, resulting in lightweight yet supportive, body-conforming foam. 

The foam is then cut and shaped to fit the chair's design. To ensure durability, we subject the foam to extensive testing, including compression and abrasion tests. These tests simulate the wear and tear the foam might experience during everyday use, such as people sitting and getting up from the chair.

Care guide

• General Cleaning: Avoid using harsh chemicals or detergents, as they can damage the fabric and cause fading. Spot cleaning is recommended for most stains. Avoid overall washing, as it can shrink or distort the fabric.
• Spot Cleaning: Address spills promptly by blotting the affected area with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid rubbing, as it can push the spill deeper into the fabric. For liquid spills, use a paper towel to soak up as much as possible before blotting.
• Gentle touch: Avoid using harsh brushes or abrasive cleaning tools, as they can damage the delicate fibres. 
• Use Mild Cleaning Agents: Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, or strong cleaning agents on velvet dining chairs to prevent fabric damage, colour fading, and texture alteration. Opt for gentle, water-based cleaning solutions and always test in a small, inconspicuous area before application to ensure compatibility.
• Occasional Vacuuming: Vacuum your velvet chairs occasionally to help remove deeper dirt, dust mites and pet hair that can accumulate in the fabric. Use the lowest suction setting on your vacuum cleaner & always vacuum in the direction of the nap to avoid damaging the fibres and pay extra attention to the seams and crevices where dirt can accumulate.

Sizing Guide

Chair Spacing: Maintain a space of at least 15cm between dining chairs to prevent overcrowding. Adequate spacing allows diners to move in and out of their seats easily, promoting a more enjoyable and functional dining experience. Consider the overall dimensions of the dining area when determining the optimal chair spacing.

Space to Move: Leave around 60cm between the chair back and your wall. This allows you and your guests to sit comfortably and manoeuvre without feeling cramped. Proper proximity ensures a seamless dining experience, allowing people to access their seats with ease.

Number of Chairs: Assess the available space around the dining table to determine the practical number of chairs that can comfortably fit. Consider the table's size, shape, and room dimensions to ensure adequate spacing between chairs for both visual appeal and ease of movement. Below is a general guide, but these are flexible dependent on the chair size and desired level of comfort:

Rectangular Tables

• 100cm or below: 4 people
• 110cm-170cm: 4-6 People
