Caning above, a welted cushion below: the Theodore Alexander Catalina Dining Side Chair looks airy from behind and feels substantial the moment you sit down. That radio weave caning is what people notice first, and it stops a long table from turning heavy once eight or ten chairs are pulled up to it.
Design & Craftsmanship
Everything rests on a solid oak frame, with the caning set into the back above a comfortable upholstered seat. That oak is offered two ways: Dune, coded PCF1176.1J2G, which stays pale and sandy, or Earth, PCF1177.1J2G, which runs warmer and browner. Both are sealed under a Natural Clear Lacquer, VCF1620.2G, so the grain stays visible. The seat wears Fawn fabric upholstery coded UP6169, a blend of 58 percent cotton and 42 percent polyester with an SW cleaning code, and welting traces the edge of the seat frame. The Theodore Alexander Catalina Dining Side Chair sits in the Catalina collection, which runs those same two finishes across its arm chairs and dining tables.
In a Coconut Grove dining room the open back earns its keep. Air passes through it, nothing settles into a tufted panel, and one person can lift the chair to reposition it before dinner.
