Upholstered Chairs in Oatmeal Performance Linen

The Oatmeal collection brings together our upholstered dining chairs and stool in Oatmeal performance woven linen, a fabric with the look of linen and the durability and ease of synthetic fibers. Its soft, neutral tone sits easily beside light and dark wood. The collection is made for households that want soft, natural upholstery at a table that gets used every day.

What is performance woven linen?

Look: a woven linen texture in a soft, neutral oatmeal tone.
Durability: synthetic fibers add durability and ease of care.
Best for: dining chairs and stools that see daily use.
Swatch: available to order so you can feel it first.

Linen brings a relaxed, natural texture to a dining room, but everyday meals ask a lot of a fabric. Oatmeal keeps the linen character while adding the resilience of synthetic fibers, which makes it a practical choice for families and frequent hosts.

The neutral color also helps. Oatmeal reads calm and understated, so it lets the wood of your table take the lead rather than competing with them.

Chairs and Stools in Oatmeal

Arm and side chairs: Everly, Gina and Hadley in both styles.
Dining chairs: Klein, Quinn, Rosalie, Willow and the Lynn Upholstered Dining Chair.
Extra seating: the Emmett Upholstered Folding Chair.
Counter or bar: the Everly Upholstered Stool.

With arm and side versions of Everly, Gina and Hadley, you can place arm chairs at the ends and side chairs along the length of the table. The Everly Upholstered Stool carries the same fabric to a kitchen island, and the Emmett folding chair is ready when extra guests arrive.

Pairing Oatmeal With Wood

Light finishes: a soft, tonal look with Oat on Oak or Harvest Wheat.
Dark finishes: a calm contrast against Espresso or Charred Ember.
Craft: our dining chairs are made by Amish and Mennonite partner woodworkers in the US.

Oatmeal's neutral tone works across our finish range, so it rarely limits your table choice. Order the swatch with a few wood finish samples to see the pairing in your own light.
