The Basirico Stacking Chair has a sexy waist that makes it decidedly feminine but cover it in the right upholstery and it shape-shifts into a roomy masculine perch perfect for hospitality projects such as golf clubhouses and restaurants. One of the hallmarks of our firm is the ability to be nimble in our interiors because we design so many public spaces. The fact that the Basirico Stacking Chair is an upholstered chair that can stack makes it a brilliant solution for hotels and resorts with rooms that are always morphing into different configurations. But put them in a residential dining room and they will feel beautifully at home.

Designed by Joni Vanderslice for EJ Victor, the Basirico is included in the J. Banks Collection of furnishings for the North Carolina furniture manufacturer. The J. Banks Design Group partnered with EJ Victor to develop this line of furniture because our team of designers wanted to have access to elevated, luxurious designs for their residential and hospitality projects. Merging authentic craftsmanship and an attention to detail, the 30-piece collection embodies luxury and easy elegance.

“We know and understand hospitality but have seen the need to create designs that are at home in a residential setting as well as in a commercial space,” notes Vanderslice. “Our hospitality projects are known for blending the look of residential with the scale and functionality of hospitality.” Focusing on our own experience with what we could not find in the marketplace, we worked with product development at EJ Victor to achieve timeless upholstered pieces and case goods that will work in virtually any setting.

This collection has come together so well because we focused on scale, function and flexibility, which affords a number of options for each piece in it. We hope you enjoy the attention to detail we brought to each design. This compelling and stylish furniture series features pieces that have been difficult to source and we know designers who have been aiming to fill in the gaps for their residential and hospitality design projects will appreciate the pieces in the collection. The designs soften the boundaries between home and resort, pairing an underlying functionality that does not disappoint in performance but also lives up to the level of style a luxury residential project demands.
