The Hepburn is a set of restaurant arm chairs built for indoor hospitality dining environments where material quality and visual composition are both working requirements. The solid American Ash frame carries a continuous horseshoe silhouette, integrating the arms, back posts and front legs into a single rounded arch. The open cane webbing inset into the back frame reduces visual weight across a dining floor without reducing structural integrity. Seat height sits at 47 cm, arm height at 66 cm, and the chair weighs approximately 7.5 kg, making repositioning between covers straightforward for floor staff.
Restaurant Arm Chairs for Hotel Dining Areas and Casual Dining Restaurants
The frame is constructed from solid American Ash throughout, finished in a clear 2K polyurethane coat. The 2K finish is a two-component crosslinked system that cures harder and bonds more durably to the timber surface than single-component alternatives, resisting the repeated cleaning cycles, moisture exposure and contact wear that accumulate in casual dining restaurants, hotel dining areas, bistros and cafe interiors. Soft bullnose radiuses on the rails and legs are a construction decision, not a decorative one: sharp arrises on dining chairs take concentrated impact damage at table edges and stacking points, and radiused geometry distributes that contact load across a broader surface area.
The open cane webbing panel is captured within the inner back frame, keeping the weave taut and the panel edges protected from the fraying and lifting that occurs when cane is surface-mounted or edge-stapled. The natural cane back reads as light and open across a dining room, reducing the visual density of a fully upholstered chair while maintaining the upright back geometry that supports posture through a full dining service. The slightly flared rear legs and outward splay at the front improve base stability under the lateral forces of diners pushing back from the table.
The seat cushion is upholstered in commercial polyester over high-density PU foam, with a domed crown and rounded front edge. High-density PU foam holds its profile under sustained daily use in a way that standard residential-grade foam does not: it resists compression set, meaning the seat surface retains its shape across the service life of the chair rather than flattening within the first season. The commercial polyester upholstery presents a fine woven texture in cream, appropriate for hotel dining areas and boutique accommodation dining rooms where surface finish contributes to the overall interior specification. The upholstery is an indoor-only material and the Hepburn is rated for indoor environments accordingly.
Detail Determines Performance. The stacked rounded moulding detail across the front seat rail, the absence of visible metal hardware, and the clean plain upholstery are not incidental finish decisions. They reduce maintenance points, eliminate corrosion risk at fastener locations, and keep the chair serviceable without specialist attention. The 3-year warranty and 8 to 10 week lead time support standard project procurement timelines for fit-outs across casual dining restaurants, bistros, cafes and hotel dining areas.
