Dining chair in teak with woven reed seat | Decodeman

A dining chair with a frame in sturdy teak and a seat of woven reed. A modern chair that suits both a modern and a classic interior, and is easy to combine with a table that has something to say for itself.

Material and finish

High-quality teak with a reed seat. Teak is one of the densest woods used in interiors and contains oil naturally, so it copes with moisture better than most alternatives. The reed seat gives the chair a natural look.

Where it stands

At a dining table this is the classic spot. But a single chair works just as well as a separate seat in a bedroom, at a desk, or in a hall where someone puts on their shoes for a moment. Because it suits both a modern and a classic interior, it rarely clashes with what is already there.

Seating comfort

Reed gives a little and so feels softer than a wooden seat, without needing a cushion. If you sit at the table for a long time, you can put a thin cushion on it; that does not change the character.

What you need to know

There is currently one chair in the shop. More chairs are available to order, so anyone looking for a full dining set can put one together. Get in touch for the lead time.

Care

Vacuum the weave regularly with a soft brush; dust collects between the reed weave. Dust the teak dry; feel free to ask which care product suits the finish. Water and reed do not go well together: do not mop against it and do not put the chair in a damp space.

How it ages

Natural materials such as teak and reed change shade slightly over the years, especially under the influence of daylight. That belongs to wood and weaving and gives the chair more character after a few years.

Why teak and reed work together

Teak brings the sturdiness, reed the spring. A chair entirely in wood sits hard, a chair entirely in weave lacks support. The combination solves that, and it is the reason this type of chair has lasted for generations without changing shape.

Measuring before you order

Before you put together a set, look at the height under your tabletop. With a table that has an apron or a thick edge, it can get tight to push the chair fully in.
