Description
Designed by London studio Industrial Facility, the &Tradition Kape IF7 Chair is a modern upholstered chair that balances clean geometry with everyday comfort. Its graphic outline gives it a distinctive presence at the dining table, while the proportions stay restrained enough to work in a wide range of interiors, from contemporary apartments to design-led hospitality settings.
The chair is built around a recycled aluminium frame, chosen for strength and visual lightness, paired with a fully upholstered seat and back for a softer sit. One of the most practical details is the removable cover, allowing the upholstery to be taken off for cleaning, repair, or replacement over time. It’s a small feature that makes the chair feel considered and future-proof, particularly for busy homes or commercial use.
Whether you’re looking for an upholstered dining chair that feels minimal but not cold, or a design-forward seating option for meeting spaces and cafés, the Kape IF7 delivers a calm, architectural look with the reassurance of &Tradition’s build quality.
