The Edit: Behind the Designs of 10 Iconic Dining Chairs.

From The Designs

Standard Dining Chair by Jean Prouve for Vitra

Often referred to as simply "The Standard" chair, Jean Prouvé's classic dining chair is as versatile as it is timeless. The chair itself relies on the legs-back-seat combo made from separate pieces, which come together to offer an industrial look with smooth, polished edges.

Masters Chair by Philippe Starck for Kartell

A fusion of classic designs into a single chair, the Masters Chair is an instantly recognizable and adaptable seat. Created exclusively from molded plastic by Kartell, the Masters Chair is the brainchild of modern design mavens Philippe Starck and Eugeni Quitlet. The duo set out to design a chair that paid homage to early iconic seats, combining the most famous designs from Jacobsen, Saarinen, and Eame, into a single seat.

Cherner Armchair by Norman Cherner for Cherner Chair Company

The Cherner Chair makes a dramatic statement at any table with its expansive and curvaceous form. First designed in 1958, the Cherner chair is made exclusively from molded plywood. The option to combine alternating woods and finishes between the legs, seat, and arms give the chair an added element of sophistication, while the hourglass shape of the seat creates intrigue. Though the Cherner Chair is designer Norman Cherner's most recognizable piece, his career included nearly all aspects of design including housing, glassware, and lighting.
