Why it works for a baby or bridal shower

Daytime, photo-forward and centered on the guest of honor's chair. A molded shell seat on wood or metal legs. It's comfortable, colorful and very photogenic, a good fit for modern weddings, rehearsal dinners and corporate events.

Showers are daytime events, so natural light shows off chair colors. Soft finishes such as rattan, cane and white wood photograph beautifully.
