These chairs are increasingly popular in modern and contemporary dining settings where the minimalistic armless style is well suited to modern casual dining habits. The style originated in post-revolution France when it became fashionable to dine without servants and the increased mobility of the armless chair meant that diners could serve themselves with ease and dignity. This utility however has been surpassed by the stylish good looks of the design as the reason for its use as well as the practicality of these chairs in restaurant settings where space is often at a premium.
The plush luxurious upholstery or leather on these items make them perfect for elegant fine dining settings and anywhere where that extra touch of class is needed. Many of these fine furniture items include an upholstery trim or skirt which gives an extra touch of elegance however shaped wooden legs are also available to give a period feel. Straight contemporary lines complete the collection and there is sure to be a parsons chair to suit both your taste and budget here.
A parson chair is a very stylish and comfortable addition to your home. Contemporary designs are tuxedo-like in their appeal and provide an extra layer of artful accenting as well. Our site caters towards a variety of lifestyles and taste. The name "parson chair" comes from a design concept that became prominent at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, and originally created at the Parsons School in Paris. Parsons chairs make great dining chairs and offer more comfort than a traditional chair with the characteristic high back and upholstered seat.
