Quiet Confidence at the Table
The Orin Dining Chair pairs a solid American black walnut frame with a hand-woven paper cord seat, drawing on mid-century Scandinavian tradition without leaning on nostalgia. The backrest curves gently at the shoulders and tapers into sculpted rear legs, creating a continuous line that feels resolved from every angle. At just 18.9 in wide, the Orin sits comfortably around most dining tables without crowding the room.
Material and Construction
Each frame is shaped from FAS-grade American black walnut and finished with a zero-VOC natural hard wax oil that preserves the grain's depth and warmth. The seat is woven from durable paper cord in a tight, even pattern that gives slightly underfoot — supportive enough for long dinners, breathable enough for everyday use. A turned stretcher bar between the front legs adds structural rigidity while echoing the rounded geometry of the frame.
Living With the Orin
Lightweight enough to pull out one-handed, sturdy enough for years of daily meals. The woven seat develops a gentle patina over time, aging alongside the walnut. Works equally well at a writing desk, a breakfast nook, or a formal dining room. Available as a single chair or in sets of two, four, or six.
