PRODUCT ENQUIRY
As with many words, Chiaro has several definitions: clear, bright, and straightforward. Chairs by nature are straightforward – the proportions of a seat and back suggest a place to sit, and regardless of their formal language, most of the time we know what to do with them. Beyond physical function, furniture has a powerful ability to transform atmosphere. Sophisticated manufacturing technology and handcraft give Mattiazzi the rare ability to shape wood in almost any form.
The Chiaro chair is not radical - the connections between the parts are direct and uncomplicated, and the structure under the seat (perhaps the most unique aspect of the design) evolved from an intention to simplify the joinery while reducing the total number of parts. Chiaro comes with and without armrests and both versions stack for more efficient shipping and storage. The chairs are available naturally finished in oak and in ash, as well as in white, gray, red, blue, yellow, and black stained ash.

Furniture and Lighting items are available to purchase online or with our dedicated consultants at our Auckland showroom.
Our range consists of:
Stocked Items
We hold a range of items in stock from all the brands we work with, these focus on products such as dining chairs, coffee tables, side tables, dining tables, lighting, outdoor furniture, beds, barstools and a small amount of upholstered items. These can normally be ready for dispatch within 3 - 4 days of receiving an order.
Made to Order Locally
Many of our products and particularly upholstered items are made to order, this way we can produce a product that is unique to your requirements. In terms of fabrics there are many possibilities outside of what you see on this site and we are happy to discuss what will work best for you and your environment. Lead times noted online are an estimation and can vary depending on the time of the year, fabric and material availability or manufacturing workloads. For example a chosen fabric may be out of stock, or our manufacturers have pre-christmas cutoffs from late September.
Imported Product
We strive to keep a selection of our best sellers from the import brands we work with in stock, but to keep this range diverse we aren’t able to hold all items in stock, so a number of our imported items will have lead times from worldwide locations. Lead times noted online are an estimation and can vary depending on the time of the year or with freight disruptions.
Ordering products with lead times:
When an order is placed for a product with a lead time, please make sure all details are correct as made to order or imported items are unable to be returned.If you need to make a change to your order, please contact us within one business day, as we may not be able to accommodate changes after this time or a fee may be incurred.
When your order is placed, we will review and be in touch if there are any changes to the noted lead time, such as fabric availability or orders placed after Christmas manufacturing deadlines. Otherwise you will receive a confirmation of your order and we will touch base closer to completion to arrange collection or delivery.
If you have any questions about ordering Furniture & Lighting online, or if you would prefer to place orders over the phone or at our Auckland showroom, please contact us on 09 3777 5556 or info@simonjames.co.nz or view our FAQs.
