Hello Jackie,

Very good question you are asking yourself. I'm glad to see that you're taking such a thoughtful approach to selecting chairs for your dining space.

Considering the functionality of your dining space is crucial. You should asked some key questions yourself to guide your chair selection first. It's important to ensure that the chairs not only complement the table but also cater to the needs of the people who will be using them, especially if kids are involved.

The idea of more cushioned chairs for extended comfort and lightweight options for easier mobility is a smart approach. Upholstered chairs are a great choice for child safety, and easy-to-clean materials can make your life much simpler in the long run.

When it comes to the design aspect, my description of the table having a contemporary feel with a play on the contrast between natural and man-made elements (wood and concrete) is worth noting. To complement this, I absolutely love the idea of pulling inspiration from mid-century design for chairs, introducing curves and metal elements to juxtapose the contemporary table's aesthetics. This contrast can create a visually striking and balanced dining area.

For a more elevated contemporary look, leather is a great option. I must point out that genuine leather tends to age gracefully and might be worth the investment if it aligns with your budget. Wheres faux leather will show signs of use fairly quickly.

I like the idea of using use fabric to soften the table's hard texture and provide a comfortable, cozy setting is a brilliant touch.

The color suggestions of lighter tones like off-white and sand, or even introducing green or darker brown fabric, are excellent choices. They can harmonize well with the contrast I've described in the table or add mood and character to your dining space when dark.

It's clear that you have a keen eye for aesthetics. Do consider functionality next. I believe that by following these guidelines, you'll be able to create a dining space that's not only visually appealing but also comfortable and practical for your needs.

In the example I attach below I found 3 chair examples. You don't need to opt for these ones. Consider the examples as a reference for shape, colors and materials.

Cool table!

This one goes really well IMO:

Very nice option! Where are they from?

I also like these a lot:

A little too modern for me

Jackie, the 1st ones I just noticed are sold out, but maybe you could contact them to see if they plan to get anymore, or find them elsewhere. I think they complement your table really well!

Hi Jackie,

How do you like your Heston table? Any upkeep issues? I just tried out that Arhaus chair yesterday. Sure is comfy. Did you end up getting it and if so, have you experienced any issues ?
Thank you!
