Why this dining chair earns its place
The bentwood chair is one of hospitality's most enduring shapes for a reason — it reads instantly as café, bistro or pub, and the Soho translates that warmth and familiarity into a resin build that's built for the realities of daily service. It's the look guests expect from a chic, characterful venue, without the upkeep that real bentwood demands.
That's because underneath the classic silhouette, this is a durable polypropylene chair in a natural finish, engineered for both indoor and outdoor settings. It's lightweight, so staff can move and rearrange it easily as a room's layout changes through the day, and when service ends, its stain-resistant finish means it wipes clean quickly rather than needing careful maintenance. It's also stackable, which keeps storage manageable in venues where every square foot of back-of-house space counts.
Built to BS EN16139 — the European standard for the strength, durability and safety of chairs and stools in contract and everyday use — the Soho is rated for the kind of sustained, heavy-traffic use commercial venues put furniture through. It arrives fully assembled, so there's no build time between delivery and getting it onto the floor, and at 911mm high, 420mm wide and 485mm deep, with a gross weight of 4.35kg, it has a substantial, comfortable footprint without being a chore to carry.
