Why this sidechair earns its place
There's a warmth to the Frank side chair in Cream/Wenge that comes from a simple, well-judged contrast: a dark, wenge-inspired hardwood frame set against a soft cream seat pad. The curved back gives it a retro silhouette without feeling like a pastiche, and the tonal pairing means it sits comfortably in lighter, more contemporary dining rooms as well as spaces leaning into a warmer, classic palette.
The frame is solid wood, chosen deliberately for strength as well as looks, and built to handle demanding commercial use — the daily churn of a working dining room rather than occasional domestic use. The cream seat pad is padded faux leather, selected because it replicates the look and feel of genuine leather while being straightforward to keep clean, and it's finished to a CRIB5 fire-retardant contract grade, the standard that matters for seating in a genuinely high-traffic hospitality space.
At 850mm high, 430mm wide and 500mm deep, with a gross weight of 6kg, it's a standard-scale side chair — easy to lift and reposition between covers, and light enough for staff to reset a room quickly. It's built for indoor use only, so it belongs in a dining room or bar rather than anywhere exposed to the weather.
