Parsons Walnut Dining Chair

The Parsons Walnut Dining Chair is a modern classic named after the famed Parsons School of Design, where clean lines and functional form are paramount. This version features solid walnut legs (Juglans nigra) with a clear satin finish, and an upholstered seat and backrest in charcoal black vegan leather. The legs are tapered with a gentle 5° splay for added stability, and they attach to the seat via pre-installed metal threaded inserts and hex bolts (no wobble). The seat and backrest are molded from multi-ply birch plywood for strength, then heavily padded with 8 cm of high-density foam (foam density 32 kg/m³) and wrapped in a 2 cm layer of soft polyester batting. The upholstery is a premium vegan leather (polyurethane-coated polyester, 0.8 mm thick) that is completely free of PVC and phthalates. It has a soft, slightly matte finish that resembles nubuck leather, and it is highly resistant to stains, scratches, and fading. The Martindale rub count is 50,000 cycles. The backrest is angled slightly (100°) for ergonomic comfort. The chair arrives fully assembled – no work required. Dimensions: 48 cm width x 58 cm depth x 82 cm height, seat height 47 cm. Seat depth 45 cm. The chair’s compact footprint makes it ideal for small dining rooms or restaurants. Weight: 7 kg. Max load: 130 kg. Cleaning: simply wipe with a damp cloth; do not use alcohol-based cleaners. The vegan leather is non-porous, so it won’t absorb wine or coffee spills. Warranty: 3 years on frame, 2 years on upholstery. Available in multiple colors (see separate listings for cognac, white, navy). This chair is a favorite among interior designers for its versatility – it works in mid-century modern, Scandinavian, and even industrial settings.
