Klismos Dining Armchair
Summary
The Klismos dining armchair is a functional evolution of the ancient Greek silhouette, combining the iconic outward-curving “saber” legs with integrated armrests for enhanced support during formal seating. It retains the signature concave backrest that follows the body’s natural contours, but its upright proportions are specifically tailored for use at a dining table. Typically crafted from premium solid wood and featuring a seat made of woven cord or upholstered leather, this chair serves as a sophisticated focal point that blends historical elegance with the practical comfort required for modern dining.
