NICO Rattan Dining Chair
An architectural solid wood dining side chair defined by an open woven cane backrest, a disciplined rectilinear frame, and a cushioned seat.
A little vintage charm can make a dining space feel more inviting. The Nico Rattan Dining Chair draws inspiration from classic European café furniture, combining a gently curved wooden frame with a woven cane backrest and upholstered seat.
The open rattan weaving gives Nico its distinctive character, adding texture while keeping the design light. Its rounded backrest, slender legs and curved wooden supports beneath the seat create a graceful silhouette from every angle.
Without armrests, Nico sits neatly around a dining table, making it a practical choice for both intimate dining areas and larger gatherings.
Its vintage-inspired design works beautifully in Parisian, mid-century modern, Scandinavian and contemporary interiors. Pair it with a simple wooden dining table for a relaxed setting, or a marble table for a more refined contrast.
For homeowners searching for a rattan dining chair in Malaysia, Nico offers a charming alternative to conventional upholstered dining chairs.
Made to order in Malaysia by NICCHRIS, with upholstery and wood stain options available.

Cohesive Interior Curation
Nico is proportioned to accompany contemporary solid wood dining tables, bright veranda dining areas, and open-plan dining rooms. Consider pairing it with these complementary workshop pieces:
Nico Arm Rattan Dining Chair
As the matching armchair in the Nico collection, placing the Nico Arm Chairs at the head of the table while arranging armless Nico Rattan Dining Chairs along the perimeter creates an architecturally unified dining suite sharing identical rattan webbing and solid wood framing.
Brito Dining Table
The Brito Dining Table features an organic, curved timber base that anchors the room with soft geometry. Arranging the linear, cane-backed Nico Dining Chairs around its perimeter balances the table's sculpted base with light, breathable woven textures.
