Some chairs are designed to blend in. The Herman Dining Chair is designed to be noticed.

Its bold wooden structure immediately draws attention, but it's the contrast between its substantial legs and gently sculpted seat that makes Herman interesting. The seat has a shallow contour with a softly raised front edge, while the broad, slightly curved backrest gives the chair a more inviting appearance than its strong silhouette might suggest.

Viewed from the side, Herman reveals its most distinctive feature. The rear legs rise above the seat to support the backrest, creating a continuous wooden structure that feels almost like a small piece of sculpture. There are no unnecessary details competing for attention. The shape of the wood does the work.

Herman is particularly suited to those who want their dining chairs to have as much personality as their dining table. Its substantial proportions make it an interesting choice alongside a simple rectangular table, where the chair's distinctive construction can take centre stage.

For a Japandi dining area, pair Herman with a clean-lined wooden table, linen curtains and understated ceramics. In a Wabi-Sabi setting, its solid wooden form works beautifully alongside an organically shaped table, natural stone and handmade pottery.

Herman can also introduce a bolder character to modern rustic and contemporary interiors, particularly when paired with a dining table that has a simpler base and a generous tabletop.

The Herman Dining Chair is made to order in Malaysia by NICCHRIS, bringing together sculptural woodwork, thoughtful proportions and a distinctive approach to everyday seating.
