The Gabe
Loose Cover Dining Chair | Grey Stripe
The Gabe is the dining chair that invites you to linger. Fully upholstered in a soft grey striped cotton blend with a beautifully tailored loose cover that drapes elegantly to the floor, it brings an effortless, relaxed sophistication to both everyday dining and special occasions. Its generous proportions, supportive armrests and additional seat cushion ensure exceptional comfort, while the subtle stripe introduces gentle pattern without overpowering your space.
Equally at home around a reclaimed oak farmhouse table or a more contemporary painted dining table, Gabe blends timeless style with everyday practicality.
Why We Love It
At Gardiner Smith, we're always drawn to pieces that soften a room, and Gabe does exactly that.
The full skirt conceals the chair legs completely, creating a beautifully relaxed silhouette that feels more like an upholstered occasional chair than a traditional dining chair. The fine grey stripe is understated and versatile, making it easy to layer into almost any neutral interior.
Gardiner Smith Recommends
Pair Gabe with a solid oak dining table, natural linen tablecloths and aged brass lighting for an inviting dining space that feels relaxed yet beautifully curated. We love mixing the soft striped upholstery with woven textures, vintage ceramics and fresh greenery to create a timeless layered look.

Styling Inspiration
Gabe works beautifully in French Country, Coastal, Hamptons and Classic interiors where comfort is just as important as style. Style a set around a weathered oak dining table with linen napkins, woven placemats and antique brass candlesticks for a relaxed, welcoming dining room.
The tailored skirt also softens hard flooring, making dining spaces feel warmer and more considered.
Gardiner Smith Tip
Don't reserve upholstered dining chairs purely for the dining room. Gabe also works beautifully as an occasional chair in a bedroom, dressing room or home office, where its generous proportions and relaxed silhouette bring softness and comfort to the space.
Care & Maintenance
Vacuum the fabric regularly using a soft upholstery attachment to keep the loose cover looking fresh. Spot clean small marks with a damp cloth and mild fabric cleaner, avoiding harsh chemicals. Rotate the seat cushion periodically to maintain its shape, and keep the chair away from prolonged direct sunlight to preserve the fabric's colour.
Designer Notes
Gabe is one of those rare dining chairs that genuinely encourages you to stay at the table a little longer. We love its relaxed skirted silhouette, generous proportions and understated stripe, which together create a piece that feels effortlessly elegant rather than overly formal. It's a chair that makes family dinners, entertaining and slow weekend breakfasts feel equally special.
