DT828 Gold Velvet Dining Chair

The DT828 is a gold-framed dining chair upholstered in petrol-blue velvet — a round back, a round seat, and velvet-wrapped armrests floating in a slim brass-toned wire frame. It is dining seating drawn with a jeweler's economy: three soft shapes, one gleaming line, nothing else. The kind of chair that makes the table it surrounds look better.

Design & Character

The frame is the sketch — fine gold rods angling from floor to arm in one continuous geometry, holding the upholstery the way a setting holds stones. The circular back cushion tilts to meet the spine; the cylindrical arm pads sit exactly where wrists land; the generous round seat balances the composition. Because the structure is open air, the chair keeps a light footprint even in deep color, and six around a table read as rhythm, not bulk.

Materials & Finish

Rich velvet in a deep teal-blue covers back, seat, and arm pads, its pile shifting between peacock and ink as the light moves — the shade that flatters both daylight dining and evening lamplight. The metal frame is finished in warm gold with a soft sheen rather than a mirror shine, so it reads elegant rather than flashy, and pairs naturally with brass handles, lamps, and fittings elsewhere in the room.

Made for the Dining Room — and Beyond

At the table, the armrest height and padded back make it a chair for long dinners, not quick ones. But its presence travels: one at a dressing table becomes the vanity chair; a pair flanking a console turns a hallway formal; a single in a bedroom corner is the accent that lifts the palette. Anywhere a room needs one confident note of color and gold, this is the shortcut.

Styling & Pairing

Around a dining table, the blue velvet sings against marble, glass, and pale stone tops, while the gold frame echoes chandeliers and cabinet hardware. In mixed schemes, pair it with neutral upholstered chairs and let the DT828 take the head positions. Keep surrounding metals in the warm family — gold with gold — and the room stays coherent.

Why This Piece

Dining chairs are bought in numbers, which is why most are designed to disappear. This one is designed to be counted. It suits dining rooms that entertain, and homes where the table is the stage of the house. Velvet color and gold tone are the two things screens always shift — see both in person at a showroom before choosing the set.
