Restaurant chairs in the room composition.

The back of a chair is often as visible as its seat. Explore how profiles, materials and repeated shapes contribute to the room, then use the product details to check the piece you are considering.

Build the visual brief

Start with a view across the dining area, not an isolated swatch. Consider what the chairs reveal or conceal around the tables and how their finishes relate to neighboring surfaces. A digital image can organize your thinking, while a physical sample can help resolve color and texture before a final choice. Keep both references attached to the same named selection.
