Old Chapel Home Collection™ — Midnight Edition
Leg-O-Matic Folding Dining Chairs – Set of Four – Midnight Blue & Black Leather Designer Edition
A remarkable reinvention of an American design classic, this exceptional set of four vintage Leg-O-Matic folding dining chairs has been transformed into a sophisticated designer collection that seamlessly blends patented mid-century engineering with timeless luxury finishes.
Originally manufactured by the Leg-O-Matic Company of Bridgeport, Connecticut and dating to 1970, these ingenious folding dining chairs remain faithful to their celebrated design while receiving a meticulous Old Chapel Home Collection™ restoration. Their patented spring-lock mechanism has been fully preserved, allowing each chair to open effortlessly, lock securely into the dining position, and collapse into an incredibly compact profile for convenient storage.
Professionally refinished in Old Chapel Midnight Blue™, the hardwood frames feature a deep architectural navy with a soft satin sheen that shifts subtly between navy and near-black depending on the light. Carefully restrained hand-applied antique gold detailing has been added to selected edges and architectural transitions, highlighting the chair’s elegant profile while preserving its understated character.
The cane backs have been refinished in a matching deep tone, maintaining the original woven texture that defines the Leg-O-Matic design. Each chair has been upholstered in premium genuine black leather, providing exceptional comfort while introducing a rich tactile contrast to the Midnight Blue finish. The smooth leather, combined with the dark cane and architectural frame, creates a refined aesthetic equally suited to contemporary, transitional, and classic interiors.
Despite their elegant appearance, these remain remarkably functional dining chairs. Once opened, the patented locking mechanism creates an impressively rigid and stable seating experience that feels far more substantial than most folding chairs. Their clever engineering allows them to disappear into a compact folded profile when not in use, making them ideal for sophisticated homes where occasional seating is desired without sacrificing style.
The Midnight Edition offers a restrained luxury aesthetic that pairs beautifully with glass dining tables, polished brass, black stone, walnut case pieces, and modern architectural interiors. Whether surrounding a sculptural dining table, serving as executive office guest seating, or functioning as designer accent chairs, they present as bespoke furniture while retaining the practicality that made the original Leg-O-Matic design so innovative.
Each chair has been individually restored with careful attention to preserving its original proportions, patented mechanism, and folding geometry while elevating its presentation to boutique designer quality.

Each chair has been meticulously refinished in our signature Old Chapel Midnight Blue™ architectural finish, a deep navy with a soft satin sheen that reads nearly black in low light while revealing rich blue undertones in natural light. The finish is protected with a durable furniture-grade satin topcoat for long-lasting beauty. The original cane back panels have been carefully refinished to coordinate with the Midnight Blue palette while preserving their woven construction and architectural character. Each seat has been newly upholstered in premium genuine black leather, offering a refined appearance, exceptional durability, and a luxurious seating experience while maintaining the chair’s original proportions. Subtle hand-applied antique gold detailing has been selectively applied to architectural edges and profile transitions, providing understated contrast and highlighting the chair’s elegant lines without overwhelming its classic design. The patented Leg-O-Matic folding mechanisms have been thoroughly inspected, cleaned, and serviced. Each chair opens smoothly, locks securely into the upright position, and folds flat with ease exactly as originally engineered. All original hardware remains fully functional, and the chairs are impressively sturdy and stable when opened, providing the feel of a permanent dining chair despite their folding design. As with all artisan-restored vintage furniture, slight hand-finished variations may be present and are considered part of the character and authenticity of the restoration. The chairs are structurally sound, with solid joinery, properly functioning mechanisms, and no known structural defects. Overall, this is an exceptional, designer-restored set that preserves the ingenious engineering of the original 1970 Leg-O-Matic folding chair while elevating its presentation through premium materials, genuine black leather upholstery, and a sophisticated architectural finish suitable for today’s finest interiors. less
