These chairs are increasingly popular in modern and contemporary dining settings where the minimalistic armless style is well suited to modern casual dining habits. The style originated in post-revolution France when it became fashionable to dine without servants and the increased mobility of the armless chair meant that diners could serve themselves with ease and dignity. This utility however has been surpassed by the stylish good looks of the design as the reason for its use as well as the practicality of these chairs in restaurant settings where space is often at a premium.
The plush luxurious upholstery or leather on these items make them perfect for elegant fine dining settings and anywhere where that extra touch of class is needed. Many of these fine furniture items include an upholstery trim or skirt which gives an extra touch of elegance however shaped wooden legs are also available to give a period feel. Straight contemporary lines complete the collection and there is sure to be a parsons chair to suit both your taste and budget here.
Our site caters towards a variety of lifestyles and taste. Explore the possibilities of suede, aluminum, velour and more. In leather, they're also quite elegant. The design is nothing new, having first gained popularity in Paris around 1900 - being named after the place where it was designed - the Parsons School in Paris, so the design is a simple design motif typical of the rebirth of design values that occurred at that time broadly definable as International Art Nouveau, most characterised in the USA by "mission style" furniture. Perfectly positioned chairs make seating an enjoyable experience from point of contact.
