The side chair by Michael Smith is a black wooden chair with a curved backrest. The backrest features two vertical posts on either side, each with decorative rounded sections at the top, middle and bottom. A distinctive curved and narrow vase-like shape is in the center of the backrest. The seat is covered in a gray fabric and supported by four legs, two straight and two turned, connected by stretchers. The front legs are turned and have a rounded shape, while the back legs are straight. A turned stretcher connects the front legs. The chair appears to be made of wood and has a classic design. The background of the image is light grey.
