Teak x Paper Cord Dining Chair: Enjoy the Warmth of Wood and Striking Contrasts
This dining chair combines rustic charm with refined elegance, featuring a recycled teak frame and a paper cord seat. The balanced interplay of straight and curved lines in its form, along with the regularly woven seat, creates a quiet rhythm in any space.
The seat is made from natural paper cord, a material created by twisting paper. This material has long been cherished as an essential element in Scandinavian furniture, offering surprising flexibility and excellent strength. Another appealing aspect is how it gradually softens and conforms to your body with continued use.
The surface is coated with resin, making it resistant to stains if any spills are wiped up promptly, ensuring peace of mind for daily use.
The frame is made from recycled teak wood, which has been air-dried over many years. It retains the natural 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, allowing this chair to blend seamlessly into various spaces, from natural to minimalist and vintage styles.
The seat is slightly trapezoidal, narrowing elegantly towards the backrest, giving it a sleek appearance. The gently curved backrest and slightly inclined seat cradle the body comfortably, making it ideal not only for dining but also for extended periods of sitting.
The open design of the backrest prevents a feeling of confinement, creating a light and airy presence.
The arm version allows you to rest your arms and relax, also providing support when standing up or sitting down. The armless version fits easily under tables and offers a cleaner look. Its stackable design is also a welcome feature, allowing you to neatly store chairs for guests.
It pairs well with the "Oak Tapered Leg Table" and "Coupe Dining Table," and even the arm chair version can be balanced harmoniously.
The seat is black, providing a striking accent that defines the space and offers a beautiful contrast to the wood's texture. Incorporating it into a natural space prevents the overall look from blurring, highlighting contours and creating definition in furniture and the overall environment. It also pairs well with vintage and subdued interior styles, adding depth to the space.
Over time, slight stretching or loosening of the cord may occur due to body weight, which is a natural change characteristic of the material. Generally, it can be comfortably used for about 10 to 15 years.
Much of the manufacturing process is done by hand, and the expertly woven seats show slight variations in expression from one piece to another, adding to their charm.
A piece that quietly asserts its presence while accompanying your daily life.
Please enjoy the deepening textures that evolve with time.

Care Instructions
- For daily care of paper cord, simply vacuuming dust from crevices is sufficient. If concerned about dirt, gently dab the surface with a tightly wrung towel instead of scrubbing.
- For wood parts, wipe with a tightly wrung cloth. We also recommend using natural wood wax or beeswax polish.
Notes
Before Purchase
- Each product has individual variations in color intensity, knot patterns, etc. Also, within a single product, the wood color and grain pattern may differ between parts. Please enjoy these individual differences as they are inherent to products designed with the characteristics of natural materials in mind.
- Minor scratches, color variations, and splinters may be present, 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
- Although this product has a water-repellent finish, it is not completely waterproof. Leaving water droplets on it for extended periods may cause stains or discoloration.
- As it is a wood product, avoid using or storing it in direct sunlight or in extremely humid environments. This can lead to wood deterioration such as warping or cracking.
Material Characteristics
- Teak wood has a natural ability to regulate moisture in the air, causing it to repeatedly expand and contract. Therefore, the moisture content can change depending on the environment, affecting its size and shape. This may result in gaps at joints, warping, bending, or cracking.
