The Horatio pairs two materials in one color. Its back is olive woven fabric divided into five wide vertical channels; its seat is a plain olive leather box that wipes clean. A dark walnut plinth runs underneath.
Why five channels. Wider flutes look calmer than narrow ones and suit a smaller booth: five across a 48 in back gives each guest roughly two and a half channels, so the pattern lines up with where people actually sit.
Fabric back, leather seat. The seat takes the abrasion, spills and cleaning, so it gets the hard-wearing surface. The back is touched far less and can carry a textured fabric that adds warmth and helps a little with room acoustics.
Where it works. Bistros, wine bars and neighborhood restaurants, either as end-of-run singles against a wall or as back-to-back doubles in the middle of the room.
Construction. Hardwood and plywood seat box, high-resilience foam on a firm base layer, back channels stitched to a backing, and a stained solid wood or veneered plinth.
Options. Fabric and leather colors (COM/COL accepted), channel width, single or back-to-back, plinth stain. Foams specified to meet CAL TB 117-2013 on request.
