1990s Donghia Casper Dining Chairs – Set of 6

A sleek modernist take on the classic Louis XVI originals, these elegant chairs designed by John Hutton for Donghia bring timeless high style to any interior. This set of six chairs consists of 4 side chairs in different shades of soft green-gray Donghia mohair, and two armchairs in matching gray Donghia mohair with silver-leafed arms and legs. All pieces were bought new and upholstered in the Donghia work room using Donghia products, circa 1998. Three of the side chairs still have the original Donghia label attached to the underside of the seat. They are graciously sized and supremely comfortable. In my previous apartment they looked smashing, but now that I’ve moved I must reluctantly help them find a new home.

As with any furniture lovingly used for this amount of time, there are imperfections and flaws consistent with wear and age (see photos). Nonetheless, these chairs are well-made, a pleasure to experience, and beautiful as objects.
