ABOUT THIS ITEM
Dining Chair
Drawing inspiration from the director’s chair typology, this folding chair collection reinterprets the classic silhouette through a rigorous and precise design language, striking a perfect balance between minimalist form and exquisite craftsmanship. The frame is meticulously turned from solid wood and hand-finished, while the seat and backrest are crafted from leather—chosen for its exceptional durability and ability to naturally conform to the user’s body over time. Though restrained in proportion, the structure incorporates sophisticated mechanical engineering: custom metal joints enable smooth, effortless folding while preserving overall stability and visual refinement. Lightweight, compact, and easy to move or store, the chair adapts seamlessly to diverse environments, from residential spaces to commercial settings. Available in both dining and lounge heights, it performs equally well paired with a table or as a freestanding seat in intimate settings. Every detail embodies an understated yet unmistakable commitment to quality, prioritizing functional integrity and design coherence over superficial aesthetics to create a timeless, long-lasting piece.
Inheriting the classic folding functionality of director’s chairs, the collection reinvents the silhouette with "restrained proportions + precise details." It abandons redundant ornamentation, relying solely on the warm texture of solid wood and the delicate grain of leather to convey elegance, while upholding technical rigor in its structure. The design philosophy of "form follows function" runs throughout, blending retro inspiration with contemporary aesthetics.
-
Solid Wood Frame: Shaped into smooth lines via precision turning, then hand-sanded for a touch. Solid wood offers exceptional structural strength and reliable load-bearing capacity, resisting deformation with long-term use and infusing spaces with a natural, warm ambiance.
-
Leather Seat & Backrest: Leather is wear-resistant and stain-resistant, resisting wrinkles and damage in daily use. It gradually conforms to the user’s body over time, becoming more comfortable with each use. The combination of these two materials balances visual texture with long-lasting durability, reducing the need for frequent replacement.
Custom metal joints, engineered with precision, enable "smooth and effortless" folding—no strenuous effort is required to open or close the chair. When unfolded, the joints lock securely to ensure stability during use, preventing wobbling while seated. The sleek lines of the metal hardware create a subtle material contrast with the wood and leather, serving as elegant visual accents while fulfilling functional needs, avoiding the clunky appearance common in folding furniture.
Two height options cater to diverse needs:
-
Dining Height: Ideal for pairing with dining tables, suitable for home meals, restaurant waiting areas, and other scenarios.
-
Lounge Height: Perfect for living rooms, studies, cafes, and other spaces as a standalone seat for relaxation.
Its lightweight, compact form (even more space-efficient when folded) makes it easy to handle for daily use, extra seating, or flexible arrangements in commercial venues.
Eschewing superficial embellishments, the collection focuses on core values: the structural strength of solid wood, the aging resistance of leather, and the rust-proof, wear-resistant properties of metal joints—all working together to ensure long service life. By prioritizing durability and functionality, it transcends fast-consuming furniture trends, becoming a classic piece that accompanies spaces for years to come.
