Why this armchair earns its place
The Lia is Bolero's take on the contemporary dining chair — a contemporary shape and stylish silhouette designed to lift a dining area rather than just fill it. It's finished in a grey velvet-effect fabric that reads as genuinely premium from across the room, while behind the scenes it's built to survive a working front-of-house rather than a showroom.
That's the point of "velvet effect" over real velvet: it gives customers the plush look and soft padded comfort of a luxury seat, but it wipes clean rather than staining, so spilled wine or sauce doesn't mean a ruined chair. The padding itself is there to keep customers settled for longer — comfort that reads as relaxed rather than perched, which matters in any space where table turnover isn't the only goal.
Underneath the upholstery is a strong metal frame, which is what actually earns its keep over months of service — chairs that wobble or creak get noticed by customers, and a solid frame is the difference between furniture that lasts and furniture that needs replacing within a year. At 810mm high and 580mm wide, with a 585mm depth, it sits at proportions built for dining rather than lounging.
