Why this sidechair earns its place
There's a particular kind of chair every venue with any ambition ends up needing: something with presence, that photographs well against a table setting, but that won't need replacing after a busy first season. The Vicky side chair is Bolero's answer, and this Red/Walnut colourway is the boldest expression of it — a deep red faux leather seat against a rich walnut-stained hardwood frame, with a slatted back that keeps the silhouette light rather than heavy.
Underneath the styling it's a genuinely contract-built chair. The frame is solid wood, selected specifically for strength as well as looks, and built to a standard that's structurally suitable for contract use — not a domestic chair pressed into commercial service. The seat pad is upholstered in a high-quality faux leather that mimics the look and feel of the real thing, wipes down easily after service, and is fire-retardant to CRIB5 contract grade, which matters if you're specifying for a public-facing dining room.
At 870 × 420 × 510mm and 6kg, it's substantial enough to feel solid underfoot but light enough for front-of-house staff to reset a room between covers without a fight. It's an indoor chair through and through, which suits its finish — walnut stain and faux leather are built for a controlled dining environment, not a beer garden.
