Tufgrain® Aluminum Seating
Tufgrain is Shelby Williams' proprietary aluminum seating technology that combines the realistic grain and warmth of natural wood with the strength, durability, and light weight of aluminum. The result is a chair that looks like wood, performs like metal, and is easy to clean — the ideal solution for high-use hospitality environments where both aesthetics and durability are non-negotiable.
Available across dining chairs, bar stools, and lounge chairs — and fully customizable with Shelby Williams' range of Tufgrain frame finishes and upholstery options.
