Dining Chairs

The Feelter's designer dining chair collection brings together more than 60 individually considered seats made from leather, timber, rattan, wicker or upholstered fabric. Each piece carries genuine design intent, drawing from mid-century, Scandinavian and contemporary movements that have shaped the way we gather around a table. If you are furnishing a new dining space or redesigning one, this is a range where proportion, comfort and material quality do the talking. Pair your selection with our dining tables for a complete setting, or explore the wider dining room collection for the rest of the space.

A Dining Chair for the Way You Live

The materials across this collection reflect how varied Australian dining spaces have become. Full-grain leather and PU leather options deliver a refined, textural finish that softens with age and wipes clean after family dinners. Solid timber frames in oak, ash and beech bring warmth and structural honesty, while moulded plastic shell chairs offer a lighter, more graphic profile suited to contemporary and mixed-material dining tables. Rattan and wicker seats introduce an organic, relaxed quality that works as well in a coastal kitchen as in a city apartment. Upholstered fabric options add cushioned comfort and colour range for those designing a more formal or layered dining room.

Choosing the right modern dining chairs depends on the room's mood as much as the table's shape. Open-back and wishbone-style frames sit naturally in Scandi and mid-century settings, keeping sightlines clear and the space feeling open. Leather and upholstered seats anchor more formal dining rooms with weight and presence. Plastic shell designs pair well with steel or timber-and-stone tables, offering visual contrast and easy maintenance. Many of the chairs in this range reference iconic modernist silhouettes, making them a natural companion to pieces from the wider dining room collection.

Practical details matter as much as aesthetics when a chair gets used twice a day. Several designs in this range are stackable, making storage straightforward for smaller households or for anyone who entertains regularly. Weight capacities, indoor and outdoor suitability ratings, and upholstery care instructions are listed on each product page so you can match a chair to how your household actually uses the space. If you would prefer to see and sit in a chair before ordering, The Feelter's Melbourne showroom has a rotating selection from this collection on display.

Frequently Asked Questions

What styles of designer dining chairs does The Feelter stock?

The collection spans more than 60 designer dining chairs across Scandinavian, mid-century modern, contemporary and coastal styles. You will find open-back wishbone frames, curved shell seats, fully upholstered dining chairs, and woven rattan designs. Many pieces draw from iconic modernist forms and sit comfortably alongside the broader mid-century furniture range.

What materials are available in The Feelter's dining chair range?

Materials include full-grain leather, PU leather, solid timber (oak, ash and beech), moulded plastic shell, rattan, wicker and upholstered fabric. This variety means you can match your chairs to an existing table and interior palette, from warm timber settings through to minimal steel-and-stone dining rooms.

How do I choose the right dining chair height for my table?

A standard dining table sits at approximately 73 to 76 cm high. For comfortable seating, look for a chair with a seat height between 43 and 50 cm, leaving roughly 25 to 30 cm of clearance between the seat and the table top. Each product page lists exact seat height dimensions. If you are pairing chairs with one of our dining tables, the product specifications will help you confirm a comfortable fit.

Are The Feelter's dining chairs suitable for everyday use?

Yes. These chairs are designed and tested for daily residential use. Weight capacities, frame materials and upholstery durability details are listed on each product page. Full-grain leather and solid timber frames age well under regular use, while moulded shell and PU leather options offer easy-clean surfaces suited to households with children.

Can I mix and match dining chair styles at The Feelter?

Mixing chair styles is one of the most effective ways to add character to a dining setting. A common approach is to anchor the long sides of the table with one design and place a different statement chair at each head. Keeping seat heights consistent across your selection will maintain visual balance. Browse the full dining room collection to see how different pieces work together.

Are these dining chairs available to view in a Melbourne showroom?

The Feelter operates a Melbourne showroom where a rotating selection of modern dining chairs and designer dining chairs from this collection is on display. Visiting in person lets you assess comfort, scale and finish before you order. Check the showroom page for current opening hours, and the product pages for whether an item is currently available to view.

Do designer dining chairs from The Feelter come assembled?

Assembly requirements vary by model. Many moulded shell and solid-frame chairs arrive fully assembled and ready to use. Some timber and upholstered designs require minor assembly, typically attaching legs, with tools and instructions included. The product page for each chair specifies whether assembly is required.
