Corduroy Upholstery

For dining chairs, corduroy upholstery offers an elegant yet practical choice, combining unique texture with resilience against daily use.

Corduroy fabric is crafted by weaving polyester or cotton fibers into a distinctive ribbed texture, known as “wales.” This ribbed structure is achieved by weaving the fibers and then cutting them to create parallel lines of pile across the surface, giving corduroy its iconic textured appearance. During manufacturing, fibers are dyed and woven in layers to reinforce strength, with a protective finish applied at the final stage to improve resistance to stains and wear. This process results in a fabric that is both visually appealing and comfortable for dining chairs.

Key Benefits

• Timeless & Comfortable: Corduroy’s ribbed texture and classic aesthetic bring a warm, tactile element to dining spaces, making chairs with this fabric inviting for extended meals.
• Texture & Warmth: The ribbed structure of corduroy adds a sense of warmth, ideal for dining chairs in cooler settings.
• Durability of Fabric: Polyester and cotton blends give corduroy high durability, helping it withstand everyday abrasion and wear.
• Resistant to Moderate Stains: Stain-resistant finishes make corduroy a great choice for families, pets, and high-use areas.
• Easy Maintenance: Corduroy typically requires minimal maintenance; regular vacuuming and spot cleaning are sufficient to preserve its texture and appearance.
• Fire Retardancy: Our corduroy fabric complies with UK fire safety standards for added assurance.

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.

Extra Padded Foam Cushioning

This refers to a seat cushion with two distinct layers of padding. The first layer, made from high-density foam, provides the foundation for support and shape. The second layer, which is a thinner & softer foam, adds plushness and contours to the seat for enhanced comfort. This combination aims to balance support and pressure distribution with a luxurious feel.

Crafting high-density foam 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.

The thinner layer, with the same formula, instead of using a chemical reaction to achieve high-density, we introduce gas to expand the mixture, resulting in lightweight yet supportive, body-conforming foam.

Care guide

• General Cleaning: Regularly vacuum or brush corduroy to remove dust and keep its textured appearance intact.
• Avoid Harsh Cleaners: To protect corduroy’s integrity, steer clear of abrasive cleaners. Opt for gentle methods for a long-lasting fabric.
• Spot Cleaning: For small spills, gently blot with a mild detergent and a damp cloth. Avoid rubbing, and finish with a dry cloth to absorb excess moisture.
• Avoid Excess Moisture: Prolonged moisture exposure can damage corduroy’s pile and appearance, so use minimal water when 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
