precious or overly formal. The hand-upholstered black-and-white linen print paired with solid oak legs strikes a lovely balance between graphic modernity and period charm. This chair works beautifully in dining spaces aiming for collected, lived-in elegance—particularly alongside vintage or mixed-wood tables. The linen does require occasional brushing to maintain the print's crispness, and it'll develop a natural patina over time. Group four or six for impact, or mix with other seating for an intentionally eclectic table.
