DESCRIPTION

The Arlo Dining Chair by Wood Haven is a fabric dining chair that makes its design argument through the open curved backrest construction, a horizontally curved upholstered backrest panel floating within the chair's warm walnut-toned solid wood frame, the two backrest uprights visible on either side of the fabric panel as exposed timber elements that frame the dark grey upholstery rather than concealing themselves beneath it. The backrest's open construction, upholstered panel sitting between the two exposed wood uprights rather than filling the full backrest width to the outer frame edges, gives the chair a visual lightness at its upper half that the fully upholstered seat below deliberately contrasts, the dark grey fabric seat generous and padded while the backrest above it reads as open and resolved. The water-repellent fabric upholstery applied across both the seat and the curved backrest panel addresses the practical reality of a dining chair in daily household use, the treated surface resisting liquid penetration at the first moment of contact rather than absorbing spills into the fabric immediately, providing a meaningful margin of cleanup time without requiring a leather or leatherette surface to achieve it. At 50cm wide and 80cm overall height with a 47cm seat height, the Arlo is proportioned for standard dining table configurations with a compact footprint that allows close chair spacing at the table without the adjacent chair frames making contact.
