Description
The Alize is a dining chair with a curved plywood seat and backrest upholstered in light grey 100% polyester, supported on a matt black powder-coated metal frame. The plywood shell is foam-padded before being covered in the polyester fabric, giving a soft surface that retains the sculptural curve of the backrest without needing separate cushions.
Designed for dining tables in residential and hospitality settings, the Alize suits both compact two-person café tables and longer 6-8 seat dining configurations. The curved backrest follows the natural lumbar curve, making the chair comfortable for extended meals or work sessions at a dining table. The 75cm overall height and 46cm seat height (approximate, based on typical proportion for this design) work well with standard 74-76cm dining table heights.
The matt black frame uses four tapered legs that splay slightly outward, giving stability on uneven floors while keeping the visual footprint light. The light grey polyester upholstery is a mid-neutral that pairs with both warm wood tones and cooler greys, suiting Scandinavian, minimalist and contemporary interiors. The polyester fabric can be spot-cleaned or dry-cleaned; the manufacturer recommends dry cleaning for deeper cleaning to preserve the fabric tension and colour.
At 7.7kg the chair is light enough to move easily for cleaning or reconfiguration but heavy enough to feel stable when seated. The 56cm width allows the Alize to be used in narrower spaces where wider upholstered chairs would crowd a room, while the 55cm depth gives adequate legroom without requiring excessive floor clearance behind the table.

Assembly Instruction
Frequently Asked
Does the Alize require assembly?
Yes. The chair ships flat-packed with an assembly instruction PDF (linked in the Downloads tab above). Assembly typically involves attaching the seat shell to the metal frame using the provided fixings.
How is the upholstery cleaned?
The light grey polyester fabric can be spot-cleaned with a damp cloth for minor marks. For deeper cleaning, Schuller recommends dry cleaning to preserve the fabric tension and colour. Avoid soaking the upholstery or using harsh chemical cleaners.
What is the seat height?
The specification lists 75cm overall height. Typical seat height for this design is approximately 46cm from the floor to the top of the seat, which pairs well with standard 74-76cm dining table heights.
Can multiple chairs be stacked?
No. The curved backrest and upholstered finish prevent stacking. If storage is a consideration, the chairs can be nested slightly under a table overhang when not in use.
