Trento Rustic Brown Tweed Dining Chair With Rubberwood Legs Set of 2

Tweed Upholstery

For dining chairs, tweed effect upholstery is a fantastic choice, as it combines a sophisticated look with resilience against the rigours of daily use.

The manufacturing process begins by blending quality polyester with acrylic, which are specifically selected for their strength and durability. These fibres are then spun into yarn, and various colours are skillfully integrated, forming the distinct patterns and hues characteristic of tweed. The next step involves weaving these yarns on specialised looms, creating the intricate flecked appearance and textured surface that set tweed apart. 

The final touch is the application of a protective finish to enhance resistance to stains and wear. This multi-step manufacturing process results in dining chair upholstery that beautifully replicates the subtly irregular, nubby texture of traditional tweed, offering an elegant and comfortable seating experience for our customers.

Key Benefits

• Timeless & Comfortable: The textured appearance and classic appeal of tweed add a touch of rustic elegance to these dining chairs, complementing various interior styles, while providing a soft and cosy feel, making them an inviting and pleasant seating option for longer meals.
• Warmth and Insulation: Tweed's weave is denser compared to some other fabrics, making it an excellent choice for dining chairs in cooler climates. Its insulating properties help keep you warm and comfortable.
• Yarn Selection: The use of strong and resilient fibres like wool or polyester blends contributes to the fabric's overall durability. These fibres can withstand abrasion, wear and tear, and everyday use effectively.
• Weave Structure: Tightly woven structures, often employed in tweed effect upholstery, create a dense and stable fabric that resists tearing and pilling. The interlacing of multiple yarns distributes stress more evenly, preventing individual threads from breaking easily.
• Resistant to Moderate Stains: Our tweed effect upholstery benefits from stain-resistant finishing treatments, including the application of stain repellents for an added layer of protection. This makes tweed effect upholstery an optimal choice for busy households or families with pets and children.
• Easy Maintenance: While regular cleaning is recommended, tweed effect upholstery generally requires minimal maintenance compared to more delicate fabrics. Spot cleaning and occasional vacuuming often suffice to maintain its appearance.
• Fire Retardancy: Our tweed effect 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.

Solid Rubberwood Legs With High Gloss Lacquer

Rubberwood's popularity in dining chair frames is due to its eco-friendliness and sustainability. Since rubber trees are initially cultivated for latex extraction, using rubberwood for furniture repurposes the wood that would otherwise be discarded.

The journey of crafting a durable rubberwood dining chair frame involves a series of steps, beginning with the initial harvesting and culminating in thought-out design and construction. After the rubberwood is harvested, it undergoes a drying process to reduce its moisture content, making it suitable for furniture construction. 

The shaped wood is then assembled using joinery methods such as mortise and tenon or dovetail joints, ensuring a seamless and durable integration of the carefully crafted chair frame design.

To optimise adhesion for the lacquer finish, a primer is first applied. Following this, multiple layers of lacquer are sprayed onto the chair leg, with drying time in-between coats to ensure consistent application and an even finish. This process is repeated several times to build up the desired level of sheen. Subject to the desired look, we may use open-grain lacquers to highlight the wood grain, or closed-grain lacquers offer a smoother finish.

High Density Foam Cushioning

When it comes to dining chairs, comfort reigns supreme. High-density foam plays a crucial role in achieving that perfect balance between plushness and support, ensuring hours of comfortable dining experiences

Crafting high-density foam for dining chairs involves an extensive process designed to achieve a densely packed yet weight-absorbing structure. High-quality polyurethane with a specific chemical composition is used as the base material. The PU is mixed with additives and undergoes a controlled chemical reaction, causing it to expand and solidify. Precise temperature and pressure control are crucial for achieving the desired density. The cured foam is carefully cooled and stabilised to ensure it retains its shape and density.

Unlike lower-density foams, high-density options resist flattening and maintain their shape over time. This ensures your chairs remain comfortable and supportive throughout their lifespan. High-density foam provides better support for your body, distributing weight evenly and minimising pressure points. This translates to reduced fatigue and increased comfort, even during extended dining sessions.

Care guide

• General Cleaning: Preserve the pristine appearance of your tweed effect dining chairs by incorporating a routine of regular vacuuming or gentle brushing. This simple yet effective practice helps to eliminate accumulated dust and debris, preventing them from settling into the fabric and maintaining the overall cleanliness and aesthetic appeal of your dining chairs.
• Avoid Harsh Cleaning Agents: Uphold the longevity of your tweed effect upholstery by avoiding harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners. These substances can potentially damage the fabric and compromise its integrity over time. Opt for gentler cleaning methods to ensure the material's resilience and long-lasting beauty.
• Spot Cleaning: For minor spills, a damp cloth paired with a mild detergent, preferably pH-balanced, proves effective. Gently blot the stained area, ensuring not to rub, and follow up by blotting with a clean, dry cloth to remove excess moisture. 
• Avoid Excessive Moisture: While our tweed is water-resistant to a degree, prolonged exposure to moisture can lead to discolouration or peeling. Avoid using excessive water during cleaning.

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
• 180cm-220cm: 6-8 People
• 230cm and above: 10+ People

Round Tables
