The welt trim adds a subtle, sharp detail that reinforces the chair's structured appearance, giving it a polished and sophisticated finish.
As an added touch, this one and a half chair includes a 20” knife-edge accent pillow, which complements the design and provides additional comfort and style. This thoughtful addition ties the overall look together, making the Olson Chair & a Half even more inviting and aesthetically balanced.
Olson Chair & a Half Size & Dimensions
