Know before you buy
The shell is composed of 25 percent wood fibers, which gives it a distinct matte finish and a softer, warmer tactile quality than traditional molded plastic. It feels more organic and less clinical to the touch.
The chair is designed with a curved, ergonomic shell that provides good back support for dining or desk work. While it lacks upholstery, the matte composite material is intentionally designed to be more comfortable and less rigid than standard hard-shell chairs.
The natural oak base offers a high-contrast, organic look that highlights the wood grain, making it ideal for warmer, more textured interiors. The color-matched lacquered base provides a monochromatic, minimalist aesthetic that allows the chair to blend more seamlessly into your space.
The Fiber Side Chair typically arrives with the base and shell pre-assembled or requiring minimal attachment depending on the specific shipping configuration. Please refer to the included instructions, as the process is straightforward and requires only basic tools.
The matte surface is durable and easy to maintain. Simply wipe the shell with a clean, damp cloth and a mild detergent if necessary, then dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
