Chicago Chair

Frames take a texturised matte polyester powder coat developed for galvanised steel and aluminium, chosen for its mechanical performance outdoors and in contract use.

This is the house programme, keyed to the brand rather than to this piece: it is what the range can be specified in, not a stock list. Which options this frame was built in is confirmed on the technical sheet. Choose here and the choice stays with the piece — it travels to your shortlist, the workspace schedule and its export.

Swatches are the catalogue’s own printed samples, reproduced. Printed and screen colour are approximate — specify against a physical sample. Every swatch above is a render of its own printed cell in iSiMAR Catalogue 2026 (pp.151–162).

Seat and cushion programmes run separately from the frame colourway: outdoor fabrics, quick-dry foam cores and removable covers are specified at order.

Cushion thickness is deck arithmetic, not a style choice: the maker builds the bare frame deck low or high knowing what will sit on it, and the cushion is the remainder to a comfortable finished seat. That is why a dining pad runs thin and deep seating runs thick — neither is an upgrade on the other.

For a dining chairs or armchair

3–6 cm seat pad — slim enough that the shell still reads and knee room under a 74 cm table survives. A metal shell takes the slimmer end with a non-slip base; teak and woven frames carry 4–6 cm, with an optional tied back pad.

Core

Exposed pieces take an open-cell, fast-draining (reticulated) core: water passes straight through instead of pooling in the foam. A crowned profile sheds standing water by geometry. Neither makes a cushion waterproof — outdoor builds drain, they do not seal.

Fabric

Outdoor cloth earns its keep in the fibre. Solution-dyed yarn carries its pigment all the way through the fibre, so colour survives sun and scrubbing; surface-dyed cloth wears its colour off. Performance fabrics are water-resistant rather than waterproof, and mildew grows on dirt sitting on the cloth, not in the fibre itself — which is why the published care is washing, drying and standing a soaked cushion on edge to drain.

Patterns & your own fabric

Fabrics and patterns are fully specifiable — plains, stripes and prints, with repeat, direction and railroading captured in the brief so a pattern lands straight on every panel. Many pieces also accept customer’s own material (C.O.M.) — the brief asks rather than assumes.

Made to order through our supplier workshops — sized to this frame, in your chosen fabric, from a thin dining pad to a full deep-seating build.
