N-DC02 dining chair, lacquered oak - natural paper cord

Karimoku Case's N-DC012 dining chair's classically timeless form was shaped through hands-on craftsmanship – testing, refining, and reworking each element until everything fell perfectly into place. The result brings together the best of Japanese and Scandinavian design, fitting effortlessly into a home kitchen, living room, restaurant, or hotel lobby. In short, the elegantly understated N-DC02 chair feels at home almost anywhere.

In this version, the oak frame is paired with a seat woven from paper cord, adding a pleasing contrast to the warmth of the wood. The armchair is designed by Danish design studio Norm Architects.
