Franco Dining Chair

The Franco exaggerates a familiar shape: a wing-back dining chair pushed toward something more sculptural, with solid ash and ash veneer bent into flared sides instead of a straight ladder or slat back. Finished in a deep jet black or a natural umber tone, it carries real mid-century weight without copying a period piece. As a dining chair, it works as a statement piece at the ends of a table or as a full set.

At just 21 inches wide, it is narrow enough to line up six-across at a standard table, and the wing shape means it reads bigger than its footprint. A black top-grain leather seat cushion is also available for a softer sit.

Styling Tips

Because the shape is already sculptural, keep the table underneath it simple: a plain oak or stone top lets the wing-back silhouette stay the room's focal point. In Black, it pairs well against a pale table for contrast; Umber Ash blends into a warmer, wood-heavy room.

Use two as host chairs at the ends of a table with a simpler side chair, or run a full set of six or eight for a dining room that wants more character. Round out the space from our dining room furniture collection.
