Zentique - Medallion Side Chair

The Medallion Side Chair in copper linen from Zentique brings warm metallics to oak wood construction, offering a sophisticated color pairing rooted in European antique inspiration. Built on a limed charcoal oak frame (E271 finish) with copper linen upholstery, the chair measures 21 inches wide and 40 inches tall, weighing only 18 pounds despite its visual presence. Copper—that warm burnt-orange tone—creates unexpected richness against charcoal-limed oak, a wood darker and more dramatic than traditional grey oak. Zentique achieves this finish through careful aging and lime-washing, a traditional technique that enhances grain while introducing subtle grey-green undertones. The copper linen upholstery is woven from natural fibers, chosen for durability and the way it softens with age and washing, developing a subtle patina that honors the weave’s texture. The medallion back provides classical French-inspired detailing without ornamental excess—a visual anchor that suggests 18th-century proportions while remaining firmly contemporary. At dining tables, this pairing creates a focal point that draws the eye without overwhelming smaller spaces. Perfect for collectors seeking seating that combines restraint with unmistakable personality and material depth.
