A FUNCTIONAL BEAUTY
At the heart of Brisbane’s bustling James Street, The Calile Hotel stands as a beacon of understated luxury and architectural clarity. Designed by the acclaimed Richards & Spence, this award-winning destination reimagines what a hotel can be, blending resort sensibilities with urban sophistication. Every one of its details was thoughtfully considered, and every material chosen for the ability to age gracefully and perform impeccably.
The Calile’s palette — sun-washed travertine, pale pink render, and brass detailing — calls for furnishings that echo the hotel’s architectural integrity without overpowering it. The 40/4 chair, with its timeless design by David Rowland, effortlessly complements this vision. The chair’s clean lines and classic silhouette integrate seamlessly into the hotel’s serene and sculptural interiors.

More than a beautiful object, the 40/4 chair brings with it decades of proven performance. Designed to be stacked 40 chairs high in just four feet, it delivers exceptional space efficiency - an essential feature for a venue as dynamic as The Calile. From evening events to conference settings and private dining, the hotel hosts a diverse calendar of functions. The 40/4 chair rises to the occasion every time, adapting with elegance and ease.
Chosen not only for its aesthetic alignment with the hotel's architectural language, the 40/4 chair also meets the rigorous demands of The Calile’s discerning guests. Comfort, durability, and flexibility are non-negotiable in a space that caters to both leisure and business travelers.
“COMFORT, DURABILITY, AND FLEXIBILITY WERE NON-NEGOTIABLE FOR SUCH A SPACE CATERING TO BOTH LEISURE AND BUSINESS TRAVELERS.”
