Within this article we will try to give you some sly tips to help you in your choice, placing a focus on practicality, without losing sight of style.
CHAIRS IN THE DINING ROOM: math enters the kitchen
From sunrise breakfasts before heading to the office, to multi-course dinners with close family members, finding kitchen chairs is a crucial decision.

First of all, before proceeding with the purchase, you will have to consider the table that you are going to combine: it is very important to respect the proportions between the height of the seat and the height of the latter, it must not be greater than 30cm.
Let’s take as an example our extending table Iacopo, 77 cm high, to which we recommend to combine chairs with a seat height from 45 to 48 cm. In this case, our Amanda set fits like a glove.
If you prefer classic tables, however, we suggest pairing them with modern chairs, like our wrap-around back set, Carlotta.
