With its undeniable charm, the beautiful Tiara solid wood dining chairs are the modern version of the iconic English Windsor chair, that became popular at the end of the 18th century in the USA. The unique design highlights the solid wood processing in the back rest, that is carved to obtain an organic shape.
The wood is ash wood, grown in Porada’s own forest; the upholstered seat cushions give a unique comfort to these chairs.
The elegant and modern design shows the craftmanship that most represents Porada’s vision, and the high quality of the materials used. The chair is suitable for many different styles, from the most modern to a more classic environment, thanks to the frame that is available in many different light and dark stained or lacquered finishes. This chair comes in a slightly different version in walnut, and it’s called Tilly.
