Know before you buy
The paper cord is a highly durable, natural material that is tightly woven to provide a firm, supportive seat. Over time, it will naturally contour to your body while maintaining its structural integrity, making it an excellent choice for long-term daily dining.
Yes, the chair is specifically designed for comfort. The arched backrest provides targeted lumbar support, and the armrests are positioned to allow for a relaxed posture, making it well-suited for extended periods of sitting.
Oak features a prominent, visible grain pattern that adds texture and warmth to a space, while beech is characterized by a more uniform, subtle grain and a smoother appearance. Both woods are equally durable and are finished to highlight their natural beauty.
With a seat height of 17.7 inches and armrests designed to tuck neatly under most standard dining tables, the CH37 is engineered for standard dining ergonomics. We recommend measuring your table's apron height to ensure the armrests clear the underside comfortably.
The paper cord is treated with a light wax coating to repel dirt and moisture. For routine maintenance, simply vacuum the seat with a soft brush attachment or wipe it down with a dry, lint-free cloth; avoid using water or chemical cleaners.
