Dining Chairs with Arms for Around the Table
Dining armchairs combine the proportions of a dining chair with the added structure of armrests. They can create a more defined seat around the table while introducing another element of form and material to the dining setting. Huset’s collection brings together dining armchairs from internationally recognised brands including TON, Muuto and Ethnicraft. Across the range, different approaches to timber, upholstery and contemporary furniture making give each chair its own character.
Choosing a Dining Armchair
Proportion is particularly important when choosing a dining chair with arms. Consider the chair’s overall width as well as the height of the armrests in relation to your Dining Table. If you want the chair to tuck underneath the tabletop, check the arm height against the clearance beneath the table before making your selection. Material can also change the expression of the chair. Timber dining armchairs highlight form and craftsmanship, while upholstered designs introduce softness, colour and texture. For another distinctive approach to timber seating, explore Huset’s Bentwood Chairs.
Mixing Armchairs and Dining Chairs
Dining armchairs do not need to be used at every place setting. Pairing armchairs at the ends of a rectangular table with Dining Chairs along the sides can introduce variation while maintaining a connection through material, colour or form. Alternatively, using the same dining armchair throughout can give the table a stronger, more consistent composition. The right approach depends on the proportions of the table, available space and how you want the setting to feel.
