The Dalton puts a pattern on the part of the chair the room sees most: the back. A rounded rectangular backrest upholstered in black-and-white houndstooth sits between two brushed stainless back posts; the seat is a padded black leather or vinyl cushion. Below the seat the frame splits into splayed legs joined by a curved cross-brace, and each leg ends in a pale ball foot.
What you see. A rear three-quarter photo on white showing the pattern on the outer back, the screw fixings, the curved brace under the seat and the ball feet.
Why a patterned back. In a full dining room most chairs are seen from behind. A patterned back gives a run of simple steel chairs a strong identity without changing the seat, which keeps the part that wears in a durable plain vinyl.
Where it works. Retro diners, brasseries, cafés and bars with a graphic interior.
Construction. Brushed stainless or chrome-plated steel tube frame, plywood back form and seat pan with high-resilience foam, contract fabric on the back and vinyl on the seat, nylon ball feet.
Options. Back fabric (COM accepted), seat color, frame finish, foot color.
