Makers Batten Chair - Black

Black velvet, and a frame built to keep it upright.

Black is the batten chair that disappears into a room rather than announcing itself, which makes it the easy choice in a bedroom that already has a colour scheme. The velvet still catches the light, so it reads as texture rather than a black block.

The frame is FSC certified timber, which means the wood is traceable to responsibly managed forests, and the leg fixation is built for commercial use rather than domestic. That matters more than it sounds: legs working loose is how occasional chairs die, and it is why a chair specified for a lobby lasts in a bedroom.

The upholstery is 100% hard-wearing polyester Porto velvet. Polyester velvet gives the softness and light-catching surface of velvet with far more resistance to wear than a natural pile, and the seat and back cushions are high-density foam, so the chair supports rather than swallows.

It carries a 2 year commercial guarantee and a 2 year warranty on the frame and foam, excluding misuse and general wear and tear.
