Folmar 5 – Piece Pedestal Dining Set

Look closely at the fabric and you will see it is not one flat green. It is woven with darker and lighter green threads mixed together, so from near it looks a little speckled and from a distance it looks like a soft olive. A color like this hides small marks and dust better than light grey or cream, which helps a lot on dining chairs where food and children are involved.

The seat and the back are one curved shell covered in this fabric. The back is tall, with rounded top corners and it curves slightly so your back sits inside it instead of pressing against a flat board. Where the back meets the seat there is a thin stitched line and around the outer edge of the back there is a neat piping that keeps the shape clean. The seat is padded and the front edge is rounded, so it does not cut into the legs when you sit for a long dinner.

Underneath, there are 4 slim legs that get thinner towards the floor. They are in a light wood color with the grain lines visible and they lean outward a little, which makes the chair steady. In the side photo you can also see the bars under the seat that join the legs together. Each leg has a small black cap at the bottom, so it will not scratch a marble or tiled floor when you pull the chair back.

There are no armrests, so the chairs go right under the dining table when not in use and the room looks open. In the photos 4 of them are kept together and with a wooden or white top dining table, a set of 4 or 6 like this makes the dining area look fresh and modern.

They do not need to stay only at the dining table either. One chair works very well at a study table, a dressing table or in a bedroom corner and the olive green goes nicely with wooden furniture, white walls and indoor plants.
