Elio Dining Armchair

The Elio Dining Armchair brings a tailored, architectural character to contemporary dining spaces, combining a gently enveloping silhouette with a sophisticated mix of tactile upholstery, smooth leather-effect detailing and warm timber.

Its curved tub-style back wraps naturally around the sitter, flowing into integrated arms for a supportive and inviting profile. The outer and inner back are finished in a refined warm taupe tone, while the generously padded seat introduces a contrasting textured woven fabric. Slim upholstered inserts along the front of each arm add another subtle layer of material detail.

Tapered walnut-toned timber legs give Elio a lighter, more elegant stance, balancing the generous upholstery above. The result is a dining chair that feels substantial and comfortable without appearing visually heavy—equally suited to a formal dining room, contemporary open-plan interior or sophisticated hospitality setting.

Why You'll Love It

Elio stands apart through its layering of materials rather than excessive decoration. Smooth upholstery, tactile woven fabric and warm timber each have their own character, yet the restrained tonal palette keeps the overall appearance cohesive and sophisticated.

The wraparound back gives the chair the comfort and presence of a compact lounge chair while retaining proportions appropriate for dining. This makes Elio particularly effective around substantial dining tables where a conventional side chair might feel visually under-scaled.

Its warm brown and taupe palette also makes it highly adaptable, working naturally alongside walnut, dark oak, bronze, travertine and richly veined stone.

Styling Inspiration

The Elio has a distinct 1970s Italian Modernist influence. Its enveloping upholstered shell, warm brown palette and combination of timber with tactile textiles recall the sophisticated residential furniture of the period without becoming overtly retro. Pair it with a substantial walnut or dark-stained dining table, smoked glass lighting and a deep neutral rug for a warm, collected interior.

For a Quiet Luxury dining room, place Elio around a softly rounded stone or marble dining table. Introduce bronze or aged brass lighting, warm plaster walls and floor-length neutral curtains. Keep accessories minimal—the contrast between smooth upholstery, textured fabric and walnut already provides considerable material richness.

Elio would also work particularly well in a Boutique Hotel-inspired dining space. Use several chairs around an architectural pedestal table and introduce low-level ambient lighting, dark timber joinery and textured wall finishes. The enveloping backrest gives each dining position an individual, intimate quality that suits this more atmospheric direction.

For a more contemporary scheme, combine Elio with the Orsino Dining Table. The chair's walnut tones and warm upholstery would soften Orsino's sculptural hammered bronze pedestal and pale stone top, creating a layered palette of bronze, walnut, taupe and natural stone.
