How To Choose The Right Hand Chair

The first example of a “chair” for mere mortals was a bench characterized by a single wooden plank resting on two pillars, developed in Europe and Asia and which accommodated more people. The problem is that it was definitely uncomfortable without the backrest.

In the Renaissance, on the other hand, the so-called dossal bench made its debut which rests on fluted cantilever feet and already has an open back usually made up of a series of Ionic-style columns or turned balustrades.

The history of the actual chair begins in Europe not before 1400.

The first slatted or scissor chairs are in a nutshell a fusion of the Roman saddle curulis with the similar Arab field chair. They are built with a series of scissor laths mounted on pins while the back is made up of a horizontal table with a shaped outline into which the slats are inserted.

THE CHOICE

Choosing the right- hand chair for the dining table is not easy given the vastness of products that the market offers.

An important difference to consider is also the size of the room where the chairs will be placed. We cannot choose a chair with a high back, because we would weigh down the room, not allowing it to create harmony with the other furnishing elements.

1-The first thing, as previously mentioned, is surely to understand where the chairs will be positioned: dining room, kitchen, study?

In general, the chair that will go into the dining room will not be suitable for the kitchen or a desk,

Therefore it is essential to choose the seat that best suits the room.

In some cases, however, you will find chairs that are well suited to a kitchen as well as a living room.

2- Evaluate the size of the space in which these chairs will fit. If the space is large then you can choose a large table and comfortable seats, perhaps even with armrests.

On the contrary, if space is limited, the chairs and table must be too.

3- Approximate measurements of the chairs, the minimum size of a seated person is 50 cm by 60-70 cm.

A chair usually has a seat with a width of 45-55 cm and a depth of approximately 46-60 cm, 40-47 cm high from the ground and with a backrest of 38 cm minimum. From the ground to the back, the chair must measure approximately 90 cm.

4- the weight of the chair is very important, since the chair will often be moved, it must be manageable and with a weight that allows it to be moved even with one hand.

5- In some more classic situations we can also opt for the choice of chairs for the perimeter of the table and of the head of the table chairs with armrests for the short sides, this solution is suitable for tables of important dimensions, such as tables of cm. 250/300 x 100/120.

 AND MATERIALS

Traditionally the chair is made of wood but the market today offers us the possibility to choose other materials that we can find suitable for the choice of seats, never forgetting the location of the same:

1- Wood

2- Steel

3- Aluminum

4- Polycarbonate – polypropylene (It is a thermoplastic material, semicrystalline like Polyethylene (PE), but it is more resistant and rigid and melts at a higher temperature. Polypropylene has high characteristics of resistance to chemical agents, is weldable and is normally used with temperatures between + 5 ° c and + 90 ° c.)

5- Wood fiber

6-  Plexiglass

7- Resin

8- Wicker – Rattan

In the case of the more classic chairs, we have the possibility of being able to choose the most varied coverings, with fabric, leather or eco-leather padding.

You can therefore choose a fabric that can be coordinated with the curtains in the room, or in combination with the color chosen for the wallpaper or the color of the walls, or we can choose a completely different fabric that can become, despite the diversity a very interesting combination.

 THE STYLES

What era do we want to sit in?

In the past we were certainly more tied to the traditional classic table formula with matching classic chairs, while now the cards have mixed and the styles have found different positions that are completely innovative and imaginative, everything can be combined with everything. So we can combine a seventeenth-century table with a plexiglass chair, or a nineteenth-century-inspired chair with a design table.

Mostly the classic style chairs are made of wood with fabric or leather padding, which can also be divided into various categories as the macro-eras in which they were built:

– Classic style ‘500

– Classic 17th century style

– Classic 18th century style

– Classic ‘800 style
