A teak and paper cord dining chair that enjoys the warmth of wood and contrast
This dining chair combines a recycled teak frame with a paper cord seat, exuding both rustic charm and refined elegance.
The form, which skillfully blends straight lines and gentle curves, and the regularly woven seat create a quiet rhythm in any space.
The seat is made from paper cord, a natural material created by twisting paper. It has been a beloved and essential material in Scandinavian furniture for a long time, known for its unexpected flexibility and superior strength. Another attractive feature is how it gradually softens and conforms to the body with use.
The surface is coated with resin, so it won't easily stain if you wipe away any moisture immediately, making it safe for daily use.
The frame is made from recycled teak wood, which has been dried over many years. It retains the knots and color variations unique to solid wood, and its color and luster deepen with use, allowing you to enjoy its aging process.
The sharp texture of the paper cord and the warmth of the wood complement each other, blending seamlessly into various spaces, from natural to minimalist to vintage.
The seat is slightly trapezoidal, narrowing elegantly towards the backrest, giving it a sleek impression.
The gently curved backrest and slightly inclined seat comfortably support the body, providing a pleasant experience not just during meals but also for moments of relaxation.
The open back design prevents a feeling of oppression, contributing to its light appearance.
The armed version allows you to rest your arms and relax, and also provides support when sitting down or standing up. The armless version fits easily under a table and offers a cleaner aesthetic. It is also stackable, which is convenient for storing extra chairs for guests.
It pairs well with the "Oak Tapered Leg Table" and "Coupe Dining Table," and even the armchair version can be harmoniously integrated.
The seat is black. This color provides a striking accent that tightens the space and offers a good contrast to the wood's texture. Incorporating it into a natural space prevents the overall look from blurring, highlighting the contours and creating a sense of balance in the furniture and space. It also pairs well with vintage and subdued interior tones, adding depth to the room.
Over long periods of use, the cord may stretch or loosen slightly due to body weight, but this is a natural change due to the material's characteristics. Generally, it can be used comfortably for about 10 to 15 years.
Many of the manufacturing processes are done by hand, so the expertly woven seat allows you to enjoy slight differences in appearance in each piece.
A chair that quietly asserts its presence while becoming a part of your daily life.
Please enjoy the deepening texture as time passes.

Care Instructions
- For daily care of paper cord, simply vacuuming dust from crevices is sufficient. If concerned about stains, do not rub the surface; instead, gently blot the stain with a tightly wrung towel.
- For wooden parts, wipe with a tightly wrung cloth. We also recommend using natural wood wax or beeswax.
Notes
Before Purchase
- Each item has individual differences in color depth and knot patterns. Even within a single product, the wood color and grain expression may vary between parts. Please enjoy these individual differences as they are characteristic of products that feature natural materials in their design.
- You may find minor scratches, color variations, or splinters, but please understand these as part of the unique texture of the material and handmade craftsmanship.
- Recycled teak may have multiple dowel holes, screw holes, and scratches. Please be aware of this in advance.
Usage Precautions
- While this product has been treated for water repellency, it is not completely waterproof. Leaving water droplets on the surface for extended periods may cause stains or discoloration.
- As this is a wooden product, avoid using or storing it in direct sunlight or in extremely humid environments. This can lead to warping, cracking, and other deterioration of the wood.
Material Characteristics
- Teak wood has the property of regulating moisture in the air, expanding and contracting repeatedly. Therefore, the moisture content may change depending on the environment, affecting its size and shape. This can result in gaps at joints, warping, bending, or cracking.
