What customers say
The chair's timeless design and gentle spring comfort are highly admired. Its handwoven rattan is praised for durability and natural texture.

Know before you buy
Yes, the rattan is durable and designed for regular use. While it offers a natural, tactile aesthetic, it remains sturdy enough to function as a reliable dining chair.
Absolutely. The armless profile allows the chair to slide easily under most standard dining tables, making it an excellent choice for maximizing space in smaller dining areas.
The seat height is 18 inches, which is the industry standard for dining chairs. This height provides a comfortable, ergonomic posture for the average adult when paired with a standard 29- to 30-inch high table.
To keep the rattan in top condition, simply dust it regularly with a soft cloth or a vacuum brush attachment. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, and keep the chair away from direct, prolonged exposure to moisture or extreme heat to prevent the material from drying out.
Yes, this is an authentic piece manufactured by Knoll. It is crafted in Italy to the exact specifications of the original Mies van der Rohe design.
