If you’ve been to a wedding reception recently, you may have seen the latest revolution in banquet seating: the Chiavari Chair. Though their popularity is soaring today, these beautiful chairs have a long history.
Oak Chiavari Chair
Chiavari Chairs are named for the Italian coastal city Chiavari. *In 1807, a collection of Parisian chairs was brought to Chiavari craftsmen as models. One particularly renowned craftsman, Giuseppe Gaetano Descalzi, decided to improve the chairs’ design. In doing so, he created a uniquely beautiful chair that balances lightweight utility with solid elegance: the Chiavari Chair.
Today’s Chiavari Chair has been refined even further. They are made with lightweight and sustainable materials like Beechwood and Bamboo that make them both travel and eco-friendly. Each chair is easily stacked for convenient transport and storage.
Chiavari Chairs are available in an array of finishes. A white or natural wood finish works best at wedding receptions. Black gives formal dress events a note of elegance. Gold and silver chairs provide fun and flash. Customized tie-on seat cushions give your guests extra comfort and perfectly match decorating schemes at weddings, dances, and reunions.
