Taking influence from the traditional Shaker style; characterised by a focus on pure craftsmanship, high-quality materials and simple structures, the BM1 Dining Chair is defined by its elegant, solid wood design. Produced at the carpentry, Bernstorffsminde, one of the oldest carpentries in Denmark dated back to 1837, the chair embodies an utterly timeless design, perfect for a kitchen or dining space. Available in a range of solid wood finishes, with a tactile, hand-woven paper cord seat, the materials work together to create a sophisticated contrast that can fit seamlessly into interior styles both classic and contemporary. Also available with armrests.
