Ahead of the Curve: The newest collection of dining chairs at Where Saints Go At Where Saints Go, we love a well-designed dining chair. We look for unique pieces that are the perfect marriage of comfort and style, allowing you to impress your dinner guests and create a space that is entirely your own. Statement dining chairs have been beloved by designers and shoppers throughout history - think Thonet's cafe chairs, Charlotte Perriand's Meribel chair and the Cesca Chair by Marcel Breuer. A chair not only provides a place to sit, it is an expression of style and taste. For those who love to host and entertain, chairs can also be a fabulous conversation starter or talking point. We keep a keen eye on trend forecasts as well as the classics. We believe in buying with the future in mind and opting for enduring longevity over ten-minute trends, which is why each of our pieces offer the finest quality materials and remarkable craftsmanship. What makes a great dining chair? A certain amount of what makes something "great" is subjective. However, remaining true to our ethos of "anything but ordinary," we think something is great when it's different from the norm, and we know our customers will love it. When shopping around for your dream dining chair, you should consider three things. These are: Budget - An obvious starting point, setting a budget will enable you to narrow down your search and filter results when shopping online. Style - Next, narrow it down by the aesthetic you're going for. Is your space Scandi, industrial, eclectic or mid-century? Choose a chair that complements this. Materials - Consider your materials carefully. Wood is a timeless and versatile choice while plastic can be easily cleaned. Metal is the most durable, while fabric and leather both provide added luxury and intrigue. Upholstered dining chairs The very first dining chairs were humble pieces of furniture fashioned from wood. It wasn't until the Renaissance period that things started to get fancier, with intricate carvings and upholstered seats and backrests. Since the 18th century, mass-produced dining chairs have been available in a range of different styles and materials. Design remained relatively unchanged until the mid 20th century, when people wanted new, exciting furniture in the post-war and post-depression period. Today, us lucky interior enthusiasts can shop for almost anything we want, finding the perfect piece for our unique homes.
