The perfect tandem: How to choose chairs for your dining table
The perfect tandem: How to choose chairs for your dining table
In premium interior design, the combination of a table and chairs is the aesthetic centre around which an atmosphere of hospitality and comfort is built. This choice determines the character of the space, and the key task here is to find the perfect balance.
Contrary to popular belief, the ideal option does not always consist of matching furniture from a set. On the contrary, the combination of different elements, textures and materials creates a complex symbiosis of premium furniture.
Let's look at three key approaches that will help you create a flawless composition.
Elegance of form
The idea behind this approach is to create a cohesive look, where unity is achieved through similar shapes and contrasting textures.
Consider the combination of the Poise table in Onyx Black and Pelago Rotate chairs. The natural veneer tabletop with expressive patterns blends harmoniously with the design of the chairs. This is partly due to the smooth natural leather base of the table. The vertical folds in the soft Italian leather of the Pelago Rotate chair backs create a relief that forms a symbiosis with the pattern of the tabletop.
The result is a complex ensemble of elegant compositions, where integrity is achieved through mutual complementarity.
Playing with contrast
A bold, visual solution is to build a composition based on a combination of soft and strict forms. This approach creates visual interest, emphasising the merits of each object. The Shamrock table with a smooth, dark tabletop paired with soft, enveloping Alveus chairs will create a harmonious tandem. The cool austerity of the table will contrast effectively with the cosy, airy chairs.
This solution reveals the depth of the space, emphasising the status of the owner.

In this scenario, the items are united by their common geometry and symbiosis of materials.
Metaform Uno table, Ebony wood made of natural veneer with an expressive graphic pattern. The solid base, covered with smooth natural leather, creates a feeling of reliability and status.
It is paired with Fiore Rotate chairs with solid ash legs that provide firm support. The backrest and horizontal fold are made of natural leather on the outside, while the inside is upholstered with premium materials (bouclé, velour or chenille), creating a cosy and comfortable space.
The combination of natural veneer on the tabletop and solid ash in the chair legs creates a harmonious tandem of materials, while the natural leather on the base of the table takes on a more complex, textured look when paired with the chair backs.
This is the choice for those who appreciate design in which every detail and every texture matters.
