Combining contemporary shapes with tactile upholstery, these are the 5 chairs we have our eyes on

The industrial-style chairs that have been so popular are starting to take a backseat to their more luxurious counterparts.

Combining contemporary shapes with tactile upholstery, these new chairs will have you never wanting to leave the dinner table.
