Why this armchair earns its place
The Lia is a contemporary dining chair with a shape designed to lift the whole room around it — this is the kind of piece that does more work than its price tag suggests, front-of-house. Bolero has finished it in a dark green velvet effect fabric, which reads as genuinely premium at table height without asking staff to babysit real velvet.
That's because it's velvet effect, not the real thing: the fabric wipes clean, which matters enormously in a dining room where wine, sauces and coffee are one accidental elbow away from any upholstered seat. The padding underneath is soft enough that customers actually want to linger, which is the whole point of getting seating right.
Underneath the upholstery sits a strong metal frame, built for the kind of use a dining chair gets night after night — pulled out, sat in, pushed back, stacked against, all without the wobble or the eventual crack you get from a weaker frame. It's an indoor chair, sized at 810mm high and 580mm wide, with a listed gross weight of 9.9kg, and it's sold as a set of two so a table gets a matching pair in one order.
