What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly celebrate the K/Wood Lounge Chair for its stunning design and exceptional craftsmanship. The innovative blend of natural wood and Kartell's signature polycarbonate is frequently highlighted as a successful marriage of materials.

Know before you buy
With a seat height of 16¼ inches, the K/Wood sits slightly lower than a standard dining chair, which typically measures around 18 inches. This lower profile is designed specifically for relaxed lounging rather than upright task seating.
You can choose between a smooth basic veneer or a slatted ash finish. The basic veneer offers a clean, uniform look, while the slatted ash adds a tactile, textured element that highlights the natural grain of the wood.
Yes, its footprint is relatively compact at 27¼ inches wide and 26¾ inches deep. Its open, geometric silhouette helps it feel less bulky than a traditional upholstered armchair, making it a great choice for apartments or reading nooks.
The K/Wood typically arrives requiring some assembly to attach the metal frame to the wooden shell. All necessary hardware and instructions are included to ensure a secure fit.
The black painted metal frame provides a more understated, industrial look that blends seamlessly into modern or minimalist interiors. The chrome option offers a reflective, high-contrast finish that leans into the chair's mid-century modern influences.
