Know before you buy
Yes, the paper cord is a traditional, high-strength material known for its longevity and ability to maintain tension over time. It provides a firm yet flexible seat that contours to the body without sagging.
The Nestor Armchair is delivered fully assembled. You can begin using it immediately upon unboxing.
With a seat height of 44 cm, this chair is comparable to a standard dining chair. It is versatile enough to be used as a comfortable dining option or as a standalone lounge chair in a living area.
The wood frames are finished with a matte lacquer or stain, which provides a protective layer against everyday wear. However, we recommend wiping up spills immediately to preserve the integrity of the natural wood and paper cord.
The backrest is specifically angled to provide ergonomic support, encouraging a relaxed posture that reduces strain on the lower back. This design choice, inspired by Shaker traditions, balances aesthetic simplicity with long-term comfort.
The chair features a solid wood base. To protect delicate flooring, we recommend applying felt pads to the bottom of the legs, which are not typically included with the purchase.
