Ella Dining Chair
A wrap-around back with subtle wings gives Matthew Hilton's dining chair the comfort of something far bulkier.

Common Questions
Is it comfortable for long meals?
Yes — that is the design brief. The winged, wrap-around back supports the body without rigidity, and the injection-molded foam seat holds its shape through years of daily dinners.
What base options are there?
Four: oak, walnut, black powder-coated steel, or stainless steel. Wood bases warm up dining rooms; the steel versions suit more architectural or contract settings.
How do I care for the bouclé?
Blot spills immediately rather than rubbing, avoid solvents, and have the upholstery professionally cleaned about once a year to keep the texture even.
