Think about the eating chair a moon orbiting your table. The passenger of each one having the capability to influence the trend of dinnertime conversation. Your uncle claims something suspect-- whoosh, waves crash, moistening dinner. Or, probably there's warm banter from all sides as mashed potatoes obtain passed in between your buddy's celestial spheres. The water is calm as you all spray around, delighting in the nostalgia discovered by a close friend that dragged the memory of Dunkaroos from the soft clay of everyone's hippocampus.

Possibly that's a little much. A little as well poetic for just a chair. However, don't undervalue the simple eating chair. It's the perfect location for evangelizing and polemicizing. It's every person's soapbox after a number of glasses of red.

Speaking of, exists a chair that sits perfectly with a particular conversation? Maybe a chat that can help you find the best seats for your room?

Let's eavesdrop.

ROYAL DECOR

“Did you watch season 3 of The Crown?”

“You know, I don’t really understand anything that’s happening in it, but I love the costume design. I mean, why is Elizabeth traveling the world to look at racehorses?”

“Maybe season 4 follows her second wind as a jockey.”

“We can only hope.”

Stretched out on matching Feast dining benches, their high, comfy backs as supportive as they are cradling, you both revel in a decadence familiar to Liz. Smart, spacious design and ample cushioning make you think of Buckingham Palace. Of royalty. Of getting another drink…

CHAIRS FROM THE (STYLISH) FUTURE

Perched in your future chair — your chair from the future — its sharp, modern design reminding you of refined Starfleet furnishings, you decide whether or not you care about self-driving cars.

“With LiDAR, the little scanner-thingy shoots laser beams allllll over the place, creating a digital 3D map of the world around you. Everything. Cars, trees, those stubborn pigeons that waddle real slow across the road. Then the computer makes sure you don’t hit any of ‘em. Cool, right?”

Your friend has been on about this for nearly a half-hour. You rest your elbow on the smooth, angular arm of the Zola dining chair, chin in hand, indicating how deep in thought you are. You’re also thinking about the stately Oscuro with its brushed metal legs and frame and smart fabric seat — speaking of seats, the Ceres’ is like a warm hug. Its angle is perfect for that slight, satisfied recline you make when you’re about to make a really good mid-conversation point.

All of these dining chairs from a future you could see for yourself.
