Lyon Pure Linen Slipcovered Dining Chair – Curved Armchair

A Sculptural Linen Dining Armchair

The Lyon Pure Linen Slipcovered Dining Chair brings the softness of an upholstered lounge chair into proportions suited to dining.

Its most distinctive feature is a gently curved back that wraps around the sitter and flows naturally into the arms. Rather than combining separate back and arm elements, the Lyon uses a continuous upholstered silhouette to create a more cohesive and sculptural appearance.

The result is a dining armchair that feels comfortable and inviting while retaining the compact proportions required around a dining table.

Curved Wraparound Back

The Lyon’s curved back defines both its appearance and seating experience.

From the front, the upper back forms a broad rounded arc that surrounds the seat. From the side, the profile rises toward the rear before flowing gently down into the arms.

Carefully positioned upholstery seams help shape the curved surface without relying on decorative detailing.

Key design characteristics include:

• Curved wraparound back
• Integrated upholstered arms
• Compact dining-chair proportions
• Softly rounded upper profile
• Upholstered seat
• Floor-length fitted slipcover
• Clean tailored seams
• Minimal exposed structure
• Contemporary organic silhouette

The enclosed form gives the Lyon more visual presence than a conventional side chair while remaining appropriate for dining applications.

Pure Linen Ethereal Cloud-07

The photographed Lyon is upholstered in Pure Linen Ethereal Cloud-07.

Its warm ochre-inspired tone gives the chair depth and character while allowing the natural texture of pure linen to remain visible. Subtle variation across the woven surface complements the sculptural curves of the chair and contributes to a relaxed, tactile appearance.

Pure linen is particularly effective on the Lyon because the material softens the structured form and gives the chair a less formal, more residential character.

Removable Tailored Slipcover

The Lyon features a removable pure linen slipcover tailored specifically to its curved upholstered body.

Rather than appearing loose or oversized, the cover follows the contours of the back, arms and seat while extending to the floor around the lower structure.

This fitted construction preserves the sculptural shape of the chair while providing the practical advantages of a removable upholstery cover.

The slipcover can be removed according to the approved care instructions for cleaning, replacement or future fabric updates.

Comfort for Dining

The Lyon is designed to provide more enveloping support than a conventional dining chair.

The rounded back follows the seating area and provides support around the upper body, while the integrated arms create a comfortable enclosed position. The upholstered seat adds cushioning suitable for longer meals, conversation and private dining environments.

Its comfort profile makes the Lyon particularly suitable for spaces where guests may remain seated for extended periods, including:

• Formal dining rooms
• Private dining rooms
• Restaurants
• Hotel dining spaces
• Hospitality lounges
• Meeting and consultation spaces

Tailored Upholstery & Craftsmanship

The Lyon’s appearance depends on carefully controlled upholstery around a relatively complex curved shape.

Fabric panels are positioned to follow the rounded back and transition into the arms, while subtle seams help define the chair’s three-dimensional form.

The floor-length cover conceals the lower structure, allowing the chair to appear as one continuous upholstered volume rather than a conventional dining chair assembled from visibly separate elements.

Exact internal frame, suspension and seat construction should follow the confirmed production specification.

Custom Fabrics & COM

The Lyon may be specified in selected Linen World upholstery fabrics where their characteristics are suitable for the chair’s curved construction and removable cover.

Options may include:

• Alternative pure linen fabrics
• Approved linen blends
• Selected colours and textures
• Customer’s Own Material (COM), subject to review
• Project-specific upholstery selections
• Coordinated furniture packages

For COM applications, fabric width, composition, shrinkage, durability and suitability for the curved slipcover construction should be reviewed before production.

Residential & Hospitality Applications

The Lyon Dining Chair is particularly suited to:

• Luxury residential dining rooms
• Private dining rooms
• Restaurants
• Boutique hotels
• Hotel restaurants
• Hospitality projects
• Private clubs
• Interior designer specifications
• Architect-led residential projects
• High-end furniture packages

Its sculptural silhouette makes it particularly effective around simple timber, stone or contemporary dining tables, where the upholstered form can introduce softness and visual contrast.
