How can your prices be so much lower?

We commission our pieces directly from the same family-run ateliers that produce for the world's most celebrated design houses. By removing the gallery, the showroom, the licensing fee, and the distributor, you pay for the materials and the craftsmanship, and nothing for the name on the tag.

Is the quality really the same?

Yes. We hold the exact specifications: the same Belgian linen, genuine Carrara marble, solid FSC-certified hardwood, and feather-down construction. We never substitute a cheaper material to hit a price.

How does Buy More, Save More work?

The more of your room you furnish with us, the less you pay: orders over $3,500 save 10%, over $5,000 save 15%, and over $10,000 save 20%. The discount covers your entire order and is applied automatically at checkout - no code needed.

How does delivery work?

Every order is delivered white-glove for one flat $199 fee, no matter how many pieces it includes. Our team brings everything into your home, assembles it, and removes all packaging. Every piece is made to order and typically ships in 4–8 weeks.

How will I know where my order is?

You'll never have to wonder. Your confirmation goes straight to the atelier, and from there we update you at every stage: when your piece is finished we send photographs of it from the workshop floor for your approval, we notify you the day it lands in the US, and your local delivery hub calls to schedule your white-glove delivery. If your order is ever running longer than expected, we'll tell you why and keep you posted. Curious between updates? Ask us anytime and a specialist will tell you exactly where your piece stands.

What is the 100-night trial?

Live with your piece for 100 nights. If it isn't right for your space, return it within the trial window for a full refund of the purchase price. We arrange the return shipping to our US warehouse for you, and the cost of that return shipping is the customer's responsibility.

Can I get help choosing materials and finishes?

Absolutely. Book a complimentary design consultation and a specialist will walk you through the materials, finishes, and dimensions - and how the piece will live in your space - before you commit.

What does the warranty cover?

Every piece is covered by a 2-year limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Reach out and we'll make it right.

$499 per chair · set of 4

Softly sculpted and fully upholstered, the Mathilde wraps a contoured back and a generous seat in fog-grey bouclé. Solid hardwood dowel legs in a deep mocha finish ground the piece with warm, mid-century proportions. A corner-blocked hardwood frame and high-density foam keep it dinner-party sturdy, night after night. Designer texture at the table - without the studio markup. Sold as a set of two or four. Looking for a single chair, or an odd number for your table? Get in touch - our team will arrange it.

Made to order - ships in 4–6 weeks

Follow your piece at every step - from atelier to your door

Vacuum the bouclé regularly with a soft brush attachment and blot spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth - never rub. Dust the wood legs with a dry cloth. Keep out of prolonged direct sunlight, and have stubborn stains professionally cleaned.

Why is it less?

The same piece as the bouclé dining chairs of the direct-to-consumer design studios - sourced honestly.

The studio original lists at $945 per chair - before you've seated a single guest. Ours is built on the same corner-blocked hardwood frame and wrapped in the same plush bouclé, shipped direct. Set of 2, $1,495 - $748 per chair. Set of 4, $1,995 - $499 per chair. No showroom in between.

We go to the maker

We commission directly from the atelier behind the bouclé dining chairs of the direct-to-consumer design studios.

We hold the spec

The same materials and construction. We never substitute a cheaper version.

We remove the markup

No gallery, no showroom rent, no licensing fee - only the cost of materials and craftsmanship.

Attention to detail

What a gallery photograph doesn’t say.

Furniture disappoints in a handful of predictable ways - and every one of them is a shortcut we refuse to take.

Eight checks between the bench and your room

Timber moisture-metered before a single cut

Joints clamped and left to fully cure

Leveled on a flat surface, rocked by hand

Dimensions measured against the spec

Every drawer and hinge cycled by hand

Finish checked in daylight-balanced light

Seams checked for pull, pucker, alignment

Re-inspected at our US hub before delivery

And if we still get it wrong

Every frame and joint is covered by our 2-year limited warranty, you have 100 nights to change your mind, and your piece is assembled in your room by our own delivery team - because the quickest way to make a well-built chair wobble is to bolt it together in the wrong order.

Not sure it’s right for your room? Book a complimentary design consultation - a specialist will talk through materials, finishes and fit before you commit.

Client reviews

From our clients

“Toddler, spaghetti, full launch trajectory. Wiped the seat clean in under a minute and you would never know. That alone earns the fifth star!”

Nadia H.

“The seat is genuinely generous. My husband finally fits at the table without perching, and he is not a small man. He claimed his chair on day one and guards it.”

Tessa I.

“We only have two so far and watching guests race for them has become dinner theater. Rest of the set ordered.”

Coretta B.

“The proportions are warm and familiar without feeling like a costume. Dowel legs, soft contours, everything in balance. Our designer friend assumed they were vintage.”

Abel G.

“Guests now argue over seats. Never happened before.”

Clint E.

“Product description said guests linger. Guests linger. Fact.”

Elise Q.

“Ordered six. Should have ordered eight!”

Walt F.

“two, then four, then six. they multiply because they deserve to.”

Jun L.

“Two hour dinners became four hour dinners. Send help, or dessert!”

Sadie W.

“Deliberated for months. Should not have.”

Victor N.

“Dinner used to end when the plates were cleared. Now people sit for another two hours. The back cushioning is doing something sneaky and wonderful.”

Carmen O.

“The contour meets your lower back exactly where a long dinner starts to ache. First dining chair I have owned that I would happily sit in for a movie.”

Hugh B.
