dining chairs and stools
Poliform Sophie chair
Sophie is the classic shape of a dining chair, redrawn with generous proportions: a solid seat inside an enveloping outline. In 2020 it gained a lighter sibling, Sophie Lite, and a stool at counter height.

The same frame, two weights
The original Sophie is the substantial one. The seat is solid and the enveloping back holds the sitter, which is what makes it a chair people stay in after dinner. It is also the version that looks right around a heavy table in a room with some architecture to it.
Sophie Lite keeps the solid wood structure unchanged and reshapes the back into something thinner and more open. In a small dining area, or around a glass topped table, Lite is the one that does not fill the room, and the price gap is real enough to matter across six chairs.
The stool from 2020 takes the Lite proportions up to counter height, with an armrest drawn carefully enough that it clears a counter edge. Kitchens with an island are where most of these go, and matching the stool to the dining chair is what keeps an open plan room from looking assembled from two catalogs.
Covers run from fabric to leather, and on dining chairs we usually quote a wipeable option alongside whatever was asked for. A dining chair meets food more often than any other seat in the house.
Same solid wood frame. One back holds you, the other gets out of the way.
