Description
The Cattelan Italia Magda Barré Dining Chair is a sartorially refined dining chair that elevates the established Magda form through a defining couture detail: the Barré quilting — a series of precise, parallel vertical stitching channels that run the full height of the upholstered backrest. Available as Version A, an armless dining chair, or Version B, a dining armchair with integrated wood armrests, Magda Barré combines a solid ashwood frame with a softly padded, enveloping shell. Both versions measure 53 cm wide × 55 cm deep × 81 cm high, while Version B adds 62 cm-high armrests. Select from four ashwood frame finishes and 67 upholstery finishes across Synthetic Leather, Soft Leather, and Glove Soft Leather.

Version Selection
Version A is the more spatially efficient choice for larger dining arrangements where chair spacing is a priority. Version B is ideal for head-of-table positions or settings where additional support, comfort, and visual presence are preferred.
Wooden Frame Finish Options
Four ashwood frame finishes are available across both versions and all upholstery selections.

The frame finish is the primary material coordination point between the Magda Barré and the dining table. Natural Ashwood creates the lightest expression; Canaletto Walnut Stained Ashwood introduces classic warmth; Burned Oak Stained Ashwood offers a darker contemporary mood; and Open Pore Matt Black Ashwood delivers a distinctive, deeply matte architectural finish.

The backrest is upholstered in the selected material with precise, parallel vertical stitching channels running from top to base, defining the distinctive tailored character of the Magda Barré collection.
Padded Upholstered Seat
The seat and back are constructed from birch and poplar plywood with variable-density polyurethane foam padding, then upholstered in the selected Synthetic Leather, Soft Leather, or Glove Soft Leather finish.
