A Style Guide to Mid Century Modern Dining Chairs

A Style Guide to Mid Century Modern Dining Chairs

At Upstate Amish, we offer a high quality variety of mid century style furniture. Each MCM piece is handmade by expert Amish craftsman in Ohio. In this guide, learn about each of our unique mid century modern dining room chairs.

The chairs detailed below are solid domestic hardwood with no veneers or laminates, like all our furniture. Amish craftsmanship allows customers the ability to customize each chair fully. Choose the wood species, wood stain, and style for each piece in your unique dining set.

Edit details like fabric color as well and add or remove fabric seats. We will work with you to create the perfect set of chairs for your dining room.

Our solid wood furniture is perfect for MCM style, which emphasizes natural materials. We specifically recommend walnut wood in natural or cocoa light stain for a darker look. Or, choose maple wood in our Blissful Sand or Willowbend stain for a light, airy look common in mid century furniture.

Solid Wood Mid Century Dining Chairs

We offer an attractive selection of mid century chairs including our Windsor, Cordelle, Laker, Atlas, and Tulsa styles. Each is unique and showcases different aspects of classic MCM design.

Our Windsor dining chair is a classic MCM option featuring simple design and soft, organic shape. The back legs curve gently to meet the rounded, oval like chair back for a comfortable look. The front legs feature a subtle Shaker style taper and the deep scoop seats add comfort.

Our Cordelle style combines the MCM elements of organic curves and clean lines. It features straight front legs and stark, diagonal back legs that contrast well with the dramatically curved seat back. This seat back sits rather low and is thin for an open, lightweight look.

The Laker style chair features clean, straight lines for a simple yet geometric look. The bent back displays a slight curve for comfort while the rest of the chair shows straight, neat lines. This style compliments the MCM Monroe dining table well.

Laker and Millbridge Dining Chairs with Turned Cam Leg Table

The Atlas mid century dining room chair features simple design for a smooth, minimalist look. The chair back display a softly rounded rectangle shape that contrasts well with the delicate, diagonal legs. This style looks excellent with the mid century Astoria dining table.

Our Tulsa MCM dining chair certainly features a unique, vintage look. Instead of a traditional four leg chair style, this option looks like a three legged chair. The two back legs are so close together and connected that they resemble one central, large back leg.

This option features a fabric seat and back for added comfort. The arms curve smoothly in the same way as the seat for a symmetrical, balanced look.

An excellent option for a mid century upholstered dining chair is our Sedona style. This chair features thin and straight solid wood legs that contrast with the rest of the chair. The seat and back are fully upholstered in your choice of fabric and the sides curve in and out for a classic MCM look.

Mid Century Dining Armchair Styles

Our Cordelle and Tulsa options detailed above have arms, although they are unusual. Our Laker style is available with arms upon request. Ask about editing the Windsor and Atlas styles to feature arms. Aside from these styles, a couple upholstered MCM options are available with arms as well.

Our Millbridge upholstered dining chair features straight front legs and gently curved back legs for a delicate look. The upholstered seat and back display arms that slope down from the top of the chair back to the edge of the seat. This gentle curve resembles a waterfall for a natural, calming look.

Another unique choice is our Reno dining chair. This option features a swivel base perfect for a modern, casual dining area. The thin, slightly tapered chair legs subtly slant for a clean, contemporary look.

The seat is round and wide to contrast with the delicate legs. The chair back curves around the sitter for a comfortable dining option. The arched chair top forms two small arm rests for added comfort and a slightly unusual modern look.

Tables to Pair with Mid Century Style Dining Chairs

To compliment our stylish mid century modern dining chairs, we offer matching dining tables. Complete your MCM Amish dining set in store or online today.

Our Monroe dining table features clean, sharp lines for a simple yet modern look. An interesting detail of this style is that the tabletop perfectly matches the edges of the legs. Typically, the tabletop extends at least a few inches past the legs. This difference gives a more geometric, clean look that pairs well with the Laker dining chairs.

Or, for a dining set with more contrast, pair the Monroe table with the Windsor chairs. The soft, rounded design of the chairs will highlight the sharp, straight lines of the table.

Our round table is another excellent MCM option. This style features a pedestal base with simple yet unusual design. The base branches out with legs in four different directions. The angles are soft rather than sharp for a gentle, organic look.

This table and our Cordelle mid century dining chairs are a popular combination. As shown below, this set looks great in our rustic natural walnut wood.

Cordelle Chairs with Fabric Seat and MCM Round Table

Another option is our Shaker mid century style that combines classic Amish design with MCM in one table. Like the Monroe, it features clean lines and edges for a contemporary look. The Shaker style tapered legs add subtle detail for a modern take on classic design. The Tulsa chairs look excellent with this option as well as the Windsor chairs.

As mentioned earlier, the Atlas chairs pair well with the Astoria table. This style features a rounded top almost in an oval shape. The straight legs are diagonal and angle outward for stark contrast.
