The Nama Dining Chair is a meditation on simplicity, inspired by the quiet elegance of traditional Japanese stick chairs, where nothing is superfluous and every detail carries intention. Shaped by hand and guided by restraint, its curved wooden lines soften into harmony, balancing lightness and strength in a sculptural yet unassuming silhouette. The upholstered backrest, fastened with two simple straps recalling the effortless functionality of Copenhagen bicycle bags, introduces a touch of tactility and character. Solid oak armrests extend the wooden frame in a natural, uninterrupted gesture - offering quiet support without interrupting the chair's restrained elegance. Together with the cushioned seat, the composition creates a subtle embrace - comfort without excess. The frame is crafted from FSC-certified American Red Oak, finished in Coffee Black Oak - a profound, very dark brown that borders on black, recalling oak aged to its deepest intensity. Warm beneath its shadowed surface, it carries quiet sophistication and a natural elegance that grounds any setting. A living material, the oak develops a rich patina over time, reflecting years of use and care. Paired with the frame is Desert wool velvet - a soft sandy brown with gentle golden and beige undertones - whose dense pile shifts subtly with the light, adding tactile warmth and quiet depth. Together, Coffee Black Oak and Desert velvet create a harmonious dialogue between strength and softness, where natural structure meets the calm warmth of sunlit earth. The Nama Dining Chair flows seamlessly between private and public, intimacy and gathering. Furniture that does not demand attention, but quietly rewards it.

Oak & Velvet
This piece combines the natural character of oak with the soft richness of velvet. With regular and gentle care, both materials will maintain their beauty and comfort over time. For oak, wipe the wooden surfaces regularly with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust and everyday marks. If needed, use a mild wood cleaner suitable for finished wood surfaces. Always dry the surface after cleaning and avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive pads, or excessive moisture, as these may damage the finish. To protect the wood, use coasters or felt pads under objects and wipe away spills promptly. For velvet upholstery, gently vacuum the fabric with a soft brush attachment on a low setting to remove dust and keep the fibers fresh. In the event of spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid rubbing, as this can push liquid deeper into the fabric and disturb the pile. Minor marks can be treated with a slightly damp cloth, and the velvet can be lightly brushed in the direction of the nap to restore its soft texture. Keep velvet away from prolonged direct sunlight and excessive moisture to preserve its color and texture. Pressure marks from use can often be softened by lightly steaming the fabric from a distance and gently brushing the fibers back into place once dry. For deeper cleaning or stubborn stains, professional upholstery cleaning is recommended. With regular care, the combination of oak and velvet will retain its elegant balance of warmth, texture, and softness for many years.
