Most dining chairs hog width they don't use. Riven is deliberately narrow — a full solid-walnut chair that lets you seat one more on the same table without anyone eating sideways.

Deliberately narrow: 16.5" wide
Three fit where two bulky chairs would
Open-frame back, curved crest
Solid American black walnut, dowel-pinned rails
FAS-grade, FSC-certified
Zero-VOC hard wax oil

Narrow on purpose

At 16.5" wide, Riven is the answer to a question buyers actually ask: chairs slim enough to fit three between the legs of a normal table. The width comes out of the frame, not the seat — the sitting surface stays a full rounded square.

The sit

An open-frame back with a gently curved crest keeps the chair light in the room and honest to your posture; the solid carved seat sits on dowel-pinned rails (the pin is right there on the side, marked by its own grain). Backswept rear legs handle the lean.

Solid walnut, honestly finished

FAS-grade, FSC-certified American black walnut, mortise-and-tenon frame, dowel stretchers, zero-VOC hard wax oil. At approx. 18 lb it moves with one hand.

How many Rivens fit at my table?

Count 20–21" per chair including elbow space: three fit comfortably along a 63–71" side where standard chairs allow two, and narrow rental-style tables finally seat their advertised number.

Does narrow mean less comfortable?

The seat keeps its full depth and the frame loses the width — you sit on the same real estate as a standard chair. What narrows is the footprint between chairs, not under you.

Delivery and set pricing?
