23 Types of Chairs, Explained

No design object has been consistently reinvented more than the chair. In use since ancient times, the chair began as a status symbol. &#;All types of chairs descended from the folding stool, which Ole Wanscher, the great mid-20th-century Danish furniture designer and historian, described as &#;the ancient symbol of dignity,&#;&#; James Zemaitis, New York gallery R & Company&#;s curator and director of museum relations, tells AD PRO. Royals and ecclesiastical figures used folding stools, ideal for their portability, on the battlefield and in the church. As for the ubiquity of chairs today, Susanne Graner, head of collections and archives at the Vitra Design Museum in Weil am Rhein, Germany, points to industrialization: &#;The bentwood chairs from the Jugendstil and Arts and Crafts eras look completely different than the cantilever designs created just 20 years later during the Bauhaus movement. Industrialization brought new technology and materials, so the idea of what a chair could be changed dramatically.&#; That means there are a lot of different styles of chairs available today.

Whatever the need is, there&#;s a chair to match. &#;Gaming chairs, for example, wouldn&#;t have been possible 30 or 40 years ago,&#; adds Graner, noting how leisure continues to shape design. Here, we&#;ve compiled a selection of chair styles that revolutionized the industry. So sit back in your recliner, kick up the footrest, and get comfy&#;these are all of the types of chairs you need to know.

What are the most common types of chairs?

While folding and stacking chairs are abundant due to their functionality and convenience, dining chairs, specifically the side chair (an armless seat with a straight back), may be the most common type of chair. &#;Of course, with COVID-19, the classic office chair has had a comeback,&#; adds Graner. As professions have become more computer based over the last few decades, ergonomics has played an increasingly important role in chair design.

How has chair design evolved over time?

&#;I look at the history of modern chair design as being primarily the story of low-cost materials&#;plywood, steel, aluminum, plastic&#;and how designers worked with these materials to revolutionize seating,&#; explains Zemaitis. &#;First up was tubular steel in the s. Then came bent plywood in the s though &#;50s, and plastic in the s.&#; 

As with all industries, sustainability is top of mind for many furniture makers today. To cut back on the need for new materials, some designers have cleverly found ways to incorporate waste or upcycling into their products. Graner shares that the Vitra Design Museum recently acquired a chair made from decommissioned army chairs parts. The seat is the brainchild of El Warcha Design Studio, a Tunisian collective founded in that engages local communities by making urban furniture and art installations. 

Who are the makers behind some of today&#;s most interesting chair designs?

&#;It&#;s important to be aware that modern design history is often skewed toward Western perspectives, so the challenge for us as a museum and as curators is to overcome these limits and see what other stories there are in the world, like El Warcha, for example,&#; says Graner. Two makers Graner praises are Gunjan Gupta, an Indian designer whose Old Bori Throne chair, composed of everyday objects like jute bags, was featured in Vitra Design Museum&#;s exhibition &#;Here We Are! Women in Design &#; Today&#;; and Jomo Tariku, an Ethiopian American artist and industrial designer inspired by traditional African design. Multiple chairs by Tariku were featured in Marvel&#;s film Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and his work can also be seen in The Metropolitan Museum of Art&#;s &#;Before Yesterday We Could Fly: An Afrofuturist Period Room.&#; Graner additionally highlights Argentinian digital artist Andrés Reisinger, whose sculptural Hortensia chair exists both in the metaverse and real life. 

The 23 chairs you need to know

1. 45 Chair

Among the most iconic pieces of Danish furniture design is Finn Juhl&#;s 45 chair, which Zemaitis calls a &#;masterpiece.&#; When the chair debuted in at the annual Cabinetmakers&#; Guild Exhibition, it mesmerized audiences with its form&#;a space between the frame and seat make the curved backrest and seat appear as if floating. The chair can be purchased today at stores including DWR, and comes in oak or walnut with textile or leather upholstery.

2. Adirondack Chair 

Aspiring to create the &#;perfect outdoor chair&#; for his New York lake house at Lake Champlain, Thomas Lee conceived the Westport chair (named after the town in which it was designed) in . Emblematic of American vacations and outdoor lounging, the chair would go on to become known as an Adirondack chair, after the Adirondack mountain range in New York.

Typically made of wood, the chair sits low to the ground to ensure stability on mountainous terrain, while featuring a tall slanted back, sloped seat, and wide arms for relaxation. 

3. Barcelona Chair

German American architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe created the Barcelona chair in when he was selected to design the German Pavilion for the International Exposition in Barcelona. &#;He conceived the chairs and stools as a resting place for the King and Queen of Spain. We think he based the designs on the campaign chairs of Ancient Rome with their signature crisscross frames,&#; says Enrico Colzani, head of MillerKnoll global contract marketing and Knoll brand president, of the leather-and-chrome seat, which is currently produced by Knoll. Novel for its incorporation of Industrial Age materials, &#;the Barcelona chair exudes a simple elegance that epitomizes Mies van der Rohe&#;s most famous &#;less is more&#; approach.&#; Alexandra Schwartz, curator of modern and contemporary art, craft, and design at New York&#;s Museum of Arts and Design adds, &#;It is also supremely comfortable, making it equally at home in corporate waiting rooms and private homes.&#;

4. Bentwood Chair

During the s, German Austrian cabinet maker Michael Thonet ignited a &#;revolution in chair construction and innovation,&#; says Graner. While working in Vienna he developed a system for bending solid beech wood by using steam, resulting in what is often called the first piece of mass-produced furniture, the No. 14 chair (today offered as 214). Also known as the Vienna Coffee House chair, it would give way to the French bistro chair, both of which remain extremely popular as today. Lightweight and durable, Thonet&#;s chair featured modular components that could be packed into a one-cubic-meter box, shipped, and assembled on site. 

5. Bergère Chair 

With an upholstered seat, back, and armrests, the bergère chair was introduced in the 17th century during the reign of Louis XIV when furniture became less formal and more comfortable. The chair&#;s armrests are set farther back on the wide, deep seat to accommodate the voluminous fashions worn at the time. The bergère is similar to a fauteuil, as they are both upholstered chairs with exposed wood frames, however, the latter has open sides. Both make wonderful accent chairs.

6. Cantilever Chair

As opposed to a typical chair with four legs, cantilever chairs feature a single or pair of legs attached to one end of the seat and form an L-shaped base. Dutch architect Mart Stam is credited with designing the first steel-tubing cantilever chair, which relied on standard gas pipes and pipe joint fittings, for the Die Wohnung architecture exhibition at the Weißenhofsiedlung Stuttgart. Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (attributed with producing the first bent tubular steel chair, the Wassily, in ) created variations of the cantilever chair, which became a prevalent Bauhaus design. &#;The continuous line of steel supporting a cantilevered seat remains one of the most copied concepts in 20th-century furniture,&#; says Colzani.

7. Chaise Longue 

This elongated design allows the sitter to elevate their feet in a reclined position. &#;My favorite chair designs are mostly versions of the lounge chair or the chaise longue,&#; says Zemaitis. &#;From Charlotte Perriand&#;s tubular steel chaise in the s, to Marcel Breuer&#;s Long and Short chairs in bent plywood, to contemporary aluminum masterworks, such as Marc Newson&#;s Lockheed Lounge and Joris Laarman&#;s Bone chair.&#;

8. Chesterfield Chair 

This traditional chair, derived from the Chesterfield sofa, was commissioned by the fourth Earl of Chesterfield in England during the s. Both pieces of furniture share rolled arms, deep button-tufted upholstery, and nailhead trimming. The back and arms are also at the same height.

9. Club Chair 

Evoking the roomy chairs found in English gentlemen&#;s clubs in the 19th century, the club chair rose to popularity during the 20th century, with a s French model being called the &#;fauteuil comfortable.&#; Often upholstered in leather, this type of chair has rounded edges and arms, typically with a low back and armrests. Club chairs became widespread in living rooms, for as Graner notes, &#;They correspond with the invention of television and this moment when suddenly people have more leisure time.&#;

10. Director&#;s Chair 

Gold Medal Camp Furniture invented the director&#;s chair in and introduced the lightweight design at the Chicago World&#;s Fair in . It still produces the award-winning style under Gold Medal Chairs today, but, of course, a variety of the low-back chairs that fold from side to side are now available from other vendors and come in a multitude of materials (such as leather). The director&#;s chair became popular on movie sets during the silent film era, hence its enduring associations with filmmaking. More recently we&#;ve seen them stand in as chic dining room chairs or desk chairs, though they may not be the most ergonomic examples of either.

11. Eames Lounge Chair 

In the s, Charles and Ray Eames&#;s experimentations with molding plywood reached a crescendo with the Eames lounge chair and ottoman. With a wood-and-leather seat on a six-legged base, the design represented a luxurious, modern take on the 19th-century club chair. Charles famously described his ambitions for the reclining chair as having the &#;warm, receptive look of a well-used first baseman&#;s mitt.&#; After debuting on national television in on NBC&#;s show Home with Arlene Francis, the Eames lounge chair and ottoman was an instant success. Herman Miller produces the legendary design today in two sizes and a variety of wood veneers and upholstery options. 

12. Egg Chair 

Launched in , midcentury architect Arne Jacobsen designed his famous Egg and Swan chairs for Copenhagen&#;s cutting-edge SAS Royal Hotel (now Radisson Collection Royal Hotel), which opened in . The minimalist building&#;the capital city&#;s first skyscraper an enduring symbol of modernity&#;was designed by Jacobsen and built by Scandinavian Airlines System (SAS) as a hotel and airport terminal for the airline. Rather than a steel frame and wood, the Egg chair was shaped from a hard foam material that was padded and upholstered in a process more akin to sculpting. The rounded, winged form sits on a swivel base. After furniture manufacturer Fritz Hansen secured the rights for this method in the mid s, Jacobsen employed it for the Egg chair, which the company still produces today. 

13. Ghost Chair

Notoriously copied, the Louis Ghost chair was conceived by French architect Philippe Starck for Kartell, an Italian company specializing in contemporary plastic furniture, in . The design, which injects polycarbonate into a single mold, is a modern and transparent take on the classic Louis XVI upholstered armchair. Originally rendered in clear polycarbonate, the indoor-outdoor, stackable chair comes in a variety of colors and has spawned other seating styles by Kartell, such as bar stools. 

14. Ladderback Chair 

The ladderback (or slatback) chair takes its names from its back&#;s horizontal, ladder-like spindles. As a side chair, it is among the most common chair types, having a rich history in Europe (stemming back to the Middle Ages), as well as in colonial America. 

15. Ming Chair

The Ming dynasty, which ruled in China from to , was known for its intricately carved wooden furniture, with huanghuali, a type of Asian rosewood, being the most highly prized material. According to Michelle Cheng, senior specialist at the Chinese Works of Art Department at Christie&#;s, a huanghuali folding chair is among the most iconic designs in Asian art. &#;Wherever the Chinese Emperor went, he had a folding chair, so this type of chair became the most prestigious, and families wealthy enough to have one, would always seat the most distinguished person in the room in this type of chair,&#; Cheng tells AD PRO. This March, Christie&#;s sold a huanghuali folding chair for $2.8 million. &#;These chairs have influenced the entire course of 20th-century design.&#;

16. Rocking Chair 

Outdoor wooden rocking chairs appeared during the early 18th century in England and typically resembled a high back Windsor chair with a rounded base. In , Thonet created a Bentwood variety, while in America, several iterations emerged in New England and beyond. Of course, today rockers have entered domestic interiors, their gentle back-and-forth motion rendering them an ideal seat for calmness and contemplation. Loveseat versions can also be found on the market today.

17. Roly-Poly Chair

The Roly-Poly may be one of the most iconic living-room chairs of the 21st century. Multihyphenate British designer Faye Toogood created it in after the birth of her first child. &#;During the time that Faye was designing it, she was pregnant and struggling to find a comfortable chair,&#; says Graner on the design, which served as the signature image for the Vitra Design Museum&#;s &#;Women in Design&#; exhibition. While some, like Graner, compare the thick stubby legs to a baby elephant&#;s or the overall shape to children&#;s toys, others see the curved base an homage to motherhood. The soft edges are also particularly child friendly. While the initial chairs were caste in fiberglass, the Roly-Poly chairs come in an array of daring materials today, ranging from crystal glass to silver nitrate. 

18. Stacking Chair

Danish designer Verner Panton is synonymous with avant-garde plastic furniture, a completely novel material in the s. Conceived in , the S-shaped Panton chair is, perhaps, the most iconic and sculptural stacking chain in history. Panton began working with Vitra in the early s, and they jointly developed the Panton chair, which they introduced in . Panton was the first designer to successfully create a cantilever chair without back legs from a single piece of plastic, and the chair also marked Vitra&#;s first independently developed product. The Swiss company still sells the style in a range of hues.

19. Tulip Chair

Eschewing the unsightly clutter of chair legs underneath tables, Finnish American architect Eero Saarinen designed the Tulip armchair in to pair with a Saarinen table, both of which featured a single pedestal base. Zemaitis calls Saarinen &#;the most superb chair designer of the 20th century,&#; adding that &#;his early examples were always so perfect that they became gigantic commercial successes.&#; For MAD Museum curator Alexandra Schwartz, the Tulip chair &#;came to represent the chic, space-age aesthetic of the s.&#; Colzani of Knoll, which has produced the Tulip chair since , believes it&#;s the chair&#;s &#;striking sculptural form with the use of a single, man-made material [that caused it to] instantly became the iconic representation of the possibilities and accomplishments of modern design.&#;

20. Windsor Chair

Sturdy and economical, the Windsor chair has been a prevailing style, particularly for dining, for centuries. While the original designer is unknown, the chair&#;s name began appearing in Great Britain in the early 18th century, possibly deriving from a town of the same name. Made from solid wood and featuring saddle seats and spindle backs, the style became popular in America during the 19th century and is frequently reinterpreted today.

21. Wingback Chair

With tall backs and side panels that extend for each arm, the wingback chair is an ideal reading chair. Believed to have been created in England in the s, the wings helped shield drafts, enveloping the sitter in upholstery made cozier with the heat from a fireplace. In addition to Jacobsen&#;s Egg chair, Danish designer Hans Wegner&#;s Papa Bear chair is among the most famous examples of the wingback variety. This particular style featured outstretched arms and long back legs to give the sitter an ultra comfortable seat.

22. Wishbone Chair

Inspired by Ming chairs, Hans Wegner designed the durable yet elegant Wishbone chair, or the &#;CH24 chair,&#; in , exclusively for Carl Hansen & Søn, which still offers the style. The curved back and armrest form a single piece, while the Y-shaped back helps stabilize the steam-bent top. More than 100 steps are required to manufacture each Wishbone chair, and its hand-woven seat alone takes an hour and approximately 120 meters of paper cord to create. 

23. Womb Chair

Eero Saarinen&#;s Womb chair was the answer to Florence Knoll&#;s request for &#;a chair that was like a basket full of pillows.&#; To create the rounded design, which features steel legs, indented armrests, and moveable cushions, Saarinen and Knoll enlisted the help of a boat builder in New Jersey who was experimenting with fiberglass and resin. &#;While it was originally designed to curl up in and read, the groundbreaking design, with its sweeping form, offers endless postures and extra room for elbows, books or for today&#;s consumers, tablets,&#; says Colzani.

What is a dining chair?

It&#;s a chair at a dining table intended for usage during mealtimes. Thanks to various styles of designs, dining chairs are also suitable for more scenarios like homes, hotels, banquet halls, and some office areas.

Dining Chair Parts and Structure

Source: Pinterest

The structure of a dining chair, which is commonly found in a kitchen or restaurant area, is pretty simple. Some dining chair patterns, such as those with arms, maybe a little more complicated than others. A dining chair, on the other hand, is usually basic in design.

  • Peak Rail

This is the top back support railing that connects the stiles of a dining chair.

  • Cross Rail

This is the rear and stile reinforcement rail in the middle. There are many cross rails on certain dining chairs.

  • Ear

The upper rail of the hurdle projects over the apex of the stile.

  • Stile

These are the perpendicular support parts, which are commonly back chair leg extenders.

  • Seat

This is where you will sit in the chair.

  • The Apron

This is the forepart bracing component that holds the seat in place and connects the front legs.

  • Legs

The chair&#;s legs provide stability and elevation to the seat.

Guide to Dining Chair Size

The normal dining chair height is 32 to 34 inches, with a seat height of 18 inches above the floor. A dining chair&#;s normal width is 16 to 20 inches. When you are planning to buy a dining chair, these dimensions guides will help you.

1. Dining Chair Height

When it comes to dining chairs, the total chair height is less important than the chair seat height. The distance between the floor and the peak of the chair&#;s seat is one of the factors that determine whether a chair can fit properly beneath a table or countertop.

The two most typical seat heights for dining chairs are 18&#; &#; 23&#; and 24&#; &#; 26&#;. Since chairs are most commonly coupled with these most popular forms of tables: conventional-height tables that are 28&#;&#;30&#; high or refute-height tables that are 34&#;&#;36&#; high, this is the case. We propose that all tables include at least 12 people &#;Between the seat of your chair and the countertop, there should be plenty of room. There should be 7 people at your table if it has an apron &#;the distance between the seat&#;s peak and the apron&#;s underside.

Counter-height table tops require chairs with seats that are 24&#;&#;26&#; high, whereas standard-height tables require chairs with seats that are 18&#;&#;23&#; high.

The arms of your chairs should be able to easily glide beneath your dining table. Choose a dining chair with at least 7&#; between the chair arm and the table&#;s underside or apron.

2. Dining Chair Width

Source: Pinterest

The normal dining chair width is an average of 18 inches. To determine the dining chair size to purchase, keep in mind that each visitor should have 24 seats &#;&#; There is 26&#; of eating area and 6&#; between chairs to provide elbow room for getting in and out of the table. To determine how many chairs to purchase, divide the length of your table in inches by 32 &#;.

Arms can also increase the total width of a conventional dining chair by a few inches. If you&#;re short on room, go for armless dining chairs or choose dining chairs with arms just at the top and base of the table.

Dining Chair Materials

Natural materials for dining chairs include woods, cane, rattan, plastic, leather, and a variety of other materials. Materials serve the design style. Therefore, we can often see that luxury dining chairs are made of leather. Plastic dining chairs are often for leisure or outdoor venues.

Upholstery of Dining Chair

Allow your pragmatic demands to guide you while you browse for upholstery fabric. First, think about your lifestyle and who will be using the piece. This will assist you in determining the type of material to use. Furniture in high-traffic places, such as family or living rooms, should be made of durable textiles, whereas furniture in low-traffic areas, such as a bedroom couch or headboard, can be made of any type of fabric.

The seat dictates coziness and aesthetic appeal, and it can be made of distinct materials than the body of the chair to produce a certain look.

Choosing various parts for the seat offers a dining chair the perfect finishing touch to match your dining room decor. The different types of dining chairs include:

1. Upholstered Chair

Upholstered seats give cushioning for a soft and comfy chair, and the fabric choice contributes to the room&#;s décor.

Consider the type of use the chair will receive while selecting the material. If the chair is used regularly by youngsters, a stain-resistant fabric, such as a cotton mix, will last longer and be easier to clean. Stains can be hidden with ornate materials.

2. Metal Chairs

Metal chairs have a rustic and art-deco feel to them, but they may be rather chilly to sit on. Additional cushioned seat cushions can be utilized with ties to secure them on the chair, and these chairs are commonly covered with a solid cover or ornamental vinyl or plastic.

3. Plastic Chair

Plastic chairs are difficult to surpass for their simplicity of cleaning and basic design. These chairs are durable, beautiful, and can tolerate spills, crumbs, dirty clothes, and extended usage.

4. Wicker Chair

These dining chairs are durable, and their solid wood design permits them to support more mass than other sorts of dining seats.

Dining Chair Maintenance

The duration and effort you invest into wiping your chairs will be determined by two factors: the outcomes you wish to achieve and the fabric they&#;re composed of. Let&#;s go over the different sorts of chairs and how to wash them. Fabric for the upholstery: Vacuuming on a methodical basis can help to remove debris and minimize dirt marks from appearing on the cloth. 

For coffee and tea staining, you can apply white vinegar, and for wine smudges, you can apply to rub alcohol. The idea is to use gentle blotting and spot testing. Fabric chairs should never be cleaned with bleach or ammonia. Velvet: Same as upholstered, but without vacuuming. In addition, remove stains with an upholstery detergent or dish soap and water.

After cleanup, a gentle brush can be used to recover the natural texture! For Faux leather: Clean your leather chairs utilizing dish soap and warm water and a soft, clean piece of cloth to remove any dirt or spills. Baby wipes can also be used to clean quickly. Of course, if you truly want to keep your seats in good shape, a faux leather varnish is the perfect next move.

Avoid leaving chairs in direct sunlight for long periods of time. If they are near a window, ensure the drapes or shutters are closed to prevent the fabric from being bleached by the sun. This might completely detract from the appearance of your chair, and you&#;ll wind up with a mismatched pair! Ensure the bottoms of your chair legs are protected by floor guards.

Things to Consider Before Buying Dining Chairs

1.The Style of Your Space and Dining Table

Source: Pinterest

Do you like a bold style or a traditional look? Do you want to go for a more current, modern look? In either case, select items that complement your chosen style.

Manufacturing dining chairs, on the other hand, are the next big thing if you want a more modern aesthetic. The options are limitless. All you need is a clear mental picture of what you desire, and everything else should fall into place.

It&#;s time to bring ideas to life once you&#;ve created a preliminary sketch of the final outcome. The first step is to take measurements of the space.

2. Suitable Height

Source: Pinterest

You already know what kind of dining chairs you prefer &#; that&#;s great! Now you must determine the table&#;s height. Because not all tables are created equal, you should go into a retailer with your table height in mind.

This will enable you not just to verify that the chairs sit comfortably underneath the table, but also that your legs have adequate space to sit under the table top when you sit in the dining chair. Don&#;t be scared to bring a tape measure with you to the retailer, sit on a dining chair, and note the height of the edge of your table. When you&#;re sitting down to eat, leg room is crucial, so make sure you get this one correctly.

3. Personalized Designs

Personal preferences are essential to whatever dining chairs you choose. The Materials you choose, type of wood, and the overall upholstery narrow down to the house setting and your personal tastes.

4. Comfort

Source: Pinterest

Can you sit in a backless chair pleasantly for the next three hours without getting up? If you answered yes to this statement, you have a steel back. Nevertheless, we strongly advise you to go for a more comfy chair. Particularly when it comes to food. Since if you&#;re not comfy in your chair, you&#;re not going to feel great about eating.

When it comes to dining chairs, it&#;s remarkable how some individuals make decisions exclusively based on appearances, disregarding comfort.

If you live with children, expectant mothers, or the elderly, purchase dining chairs with a seat cushion and an inclined back that make getting up and down easier. Holistic designs are perfect for keeping our bodies in good shape and providing all the back support we need to sit comfortably for long periods of time.

5. Budget

What if you could obtain inexpensive dining chairs in stylish designs with reliable quality? Try to contact Keekea and explore their premium dining chairs, all of which come with a lifetime guarantee that you won&#;t even find somewhere else.

6. Lead Time

Every chair takes a considerable amount of time to be manufactured. So, it depends on your level of patience and your needs. If you are getting the dining chairs for your warehouse, the last thing you want is to keep your customers waiting. So ensure that you get quality and have samples from them as you wait for the complete batch to get to the warehouse.

If you are purchasing dining chairs for your newly bought empty home, the last you want is to wait for months before getting your chairs. So we advise you to choose dining chairs that require less time. If, however, this home is not your primary residence, then you can wait a little longer. All you need is to work with a trusted manufacturer.

While household and business furniture may appear to be the same, the substances utilized might vary greatly in terms of longevity. Commercial furniture designers take into account the fact that the furniture, including chairs and tables, will be used by a variety of individuals on a regular basis. This implies the wood is harder and has been treated with Polyurethane coatings to help safeguard it from wear and tear and repeated washing.

The powder-coated and baked aluminum frame is wear and flake proof. Powder Coating also produces a rich, dense appearance with a smoother surface that draws minimal dust and enables less filth to build, making it simpler to clean and maintain.

Foam padding, which comes in a variety of densities, hardness, and heat resistance, is first used to cushion the seat of upholstered furniture. Dissimilar to domestic furniture, contractual furniture is subject to more strict safety regulations, and the most stringent regulations, such as CAL 133, can typically be implemented for a minor extra cost.

Bulk and firmness parameters are included in all foams, and the harder the foam, the greater the density and heaviness. Although more costly, harder foam is more pleasant and lasts longer.

Either way, the sense of removability of dining chairs varies slightly in each.

3. Space
