This set of six chairs in light beech wood and dark green fabric combines a Scandinavian design with a simple presence, ideal around a dining table. Their newly upholstered seats provide careful comfort, while the light wood interacts with the dark green upholstery in a measured contemporary spirit. Their seat height allows for easy seating, and their size suits both everyday dinners and more composed lunches. In a dining room, they pair well with a wooden table, some clear glasses, and dishware in natural tones. The set easily accommodates six guests around a lovely linen tablecloth.

For a long time, it was a symbol of prestige compared to the benches and stools of the common people, and the chair only became democratized in the 18th century to become an everyday object. It is distinguished from an armchair by the absence of armrests, a design intended to offer total freedom of movement around a table or desk. The result of a constant quest between lightness and solidity, it has evolved from sculpted solid wood to more modern lines, making each seat a witness to the history of comfort.
