Corduroy chairs

Corduroy brings visual softness and recognizable relief to the dining area. In the collection of dining room chairs Nordlys, it is available through silhouettes that combine comfort, understated lines and retro inspiration. Beige, green, gray or terracotta depending on the model: choose the shade and seat shape that will make your table a place where you enjoy taking your time.

Corduroy, a soft material with graphic relief

The character of corduroy comes from its raised lines. They give rhythm to the seat and emphasize the curves of the backrest, with a more structured presence than a plain textile. This material goes well with a wooden table or a understated top with contemporary lines.

Its touch contributes to the pleasure of sitting down, but it does not sum up the comfort of the seat. The padding, the depth of the seat and the inclination of the backrest remain essential. Compare these elements before choosing, especially if the dining room regularly hosts long meals or occasional work sessions.

Ribs that capture the light

The ribs of the fabric create small areas of light and shadow. The color may therefore appear lighter or more intense depending on the viewing angle and lighting. This movement gives depth to understated shades and enriches more assertive colors.

A ribbed beige remains discreet while providing texture. A green gives a more enveloping presence, while a gray easily accompanies a contemporary palette. For a warm note, the Scandinavian terracotta chairs allow you to explore the association between earthy colors and clean lines. Look at the different photographs of the model to appreciate the effect of the covering on the entire chair.

A retro spirit that matches Scandinavian design

Corduroy evokes retro furniture, but its association with a understated base gives it a very contemporary expression. Wood reinforces the warmth of the material; the metal draws a more graphic base. Around a table, these contrasts allow you to personalize the room without multiplying the patterns.

In an open living room, corduroy armchairs take up the texture on the living room side. A velvet storage bench can also create a reminder in the entryway or at the foot of a bed, while meeting a distinct storage need.

Are you hesitating between several textures? The fabric chairs offer other textile expressions, while the bouclé chairs focus on a more irregular relief. To link these materials to your decoration, find our inspiration on the colors and materials to adopt.

Fixed or swivel: find the corduroy chair suited to your meals

A fixed chair offers simple installation around the table. Its size depends on the width of the seat, backrest and base. Check that you can move the seat back without touching a wall, sideboard or other piece of furniture.

A swivel model allows you to change orientation without systematically moving the entire chair. This function can be pleasant for interacting with people present in an open kitchen or for leaving the table. It nevertheless requires a clear area around the seat. Consult the range of rotation and the particularities of the mechanism indicated for the product.

In both cases, bring the seat height closer to that of your tabletop. If the chair has armrests, measure the passage under the table and the space they occupy side by side. The usable dimensions will allow you to put together a set adapted to the number of guests, whether you choose a set or several coordinated models.

Clean and preserve a corduroy chair

Dust can settle between the ribs of the covering. Gentle vacuuming, with a suitable upholstery attachment and when the instructions allow it, helps to remove it regularly. Respect the direction of the fabric and avoid hard brushes which risk altering its surface.

When a liquid spills, absorb it with a clean cloth without spreading the stain. The product used next must be suitable for the composition of the velvet and be tested on an inconspicuous area. Do not soak the seat and allow it to dry completely before use. Also avoid steam or direct heat without manufacturer's permission.

Differences in sheen may simply follow the orientation of the pile. A light gesture with a compatible accessory can help standardize its appearance. For wooden or metal structures, follow the corresponding instructions. This regular attention preserves the relief which gives all the charm to your chair.
