This month, Max’s choice for the perfect dining partner is this stylish upholstered chair from Cattelan Italia. It was used in a recent show apartment for the Barratt development ‘Kidderpore Green’; in Hampstead and it struck a chord with him because of its elegant clean lines.

“This striking chair has an unmistakable contemporary style, yet it has the shape and style of an Edwardian dining chair,” he says. “I love its versatility – around a dining table the chair looks sophisticated but its profile means that it can also be a stand-alone chair that turns an awkward space into a focal point.”

It’s available with or without arms, in a range of wood finishes and in fabric or leather upholstery in a range of colour options. This means it will add that all-important finishing touch to most schemes whether that’s fine dining or simply staging a hallway or landing.
