Fae Dining Chair

A three-legged dining chair from Four Hands with a curved, U-shaped back and low arms that hold you in without crowding the table. The leather versions are covered in thick-cut top-grain hide, and the third version is a soft performance fabric woven from polyester and linen. Underneath is a plywood frame with webbing suspension and a foam and polyester fiber fill, so the seat has give without losing its shape.

Fae belongs to a family of upholstered seating built on tailored, slightly retro lines. The tripod base is what sets it apart from a standard four-legged chair, giving the silhouette a sculptural, fashion-minded stance from every angle. The leather finishes read as a warm pale tan and a deep chestnut brown, while the fabric option is a quiet snow white. Any of them sits comfortably beside stone, walnut, lacquer, or plaster.

Pull a set up to a round or oval dining table, where the leg arrangement leaves plenty of room for knees and neighboring chairs. A single one also works at a kitchen island, in a reading corner, or at a wide desk. Leather will soften and take on character with daily use, and the performance fabric suits households where dinner tends to run long and spills happen.
