Kiso Chair

The Kiso Chair brings together the warmth of solid ash, restrained upholstery and a finely resolved open-frame silhouette. Finished in a deep walnut stain, the timber frame flows from the tapered legs into gently curved arms, giving the lounge chair a light architectural quality with subtle Japandi and mid-century influences. Soft grey polyester upholstery provides a quiet tonal contrast, while rope detailing at the back introduces another natural, tactile element. The result is a composed balance of structure, softness and material detail.

Design Details

• Solid ash frame — A walnut-stained ash structure highlights the natural grain of the timber, with curved arms and tapered legs creating a continuous, considered profile.
• Layered materials — Soft polyester upholstery is paired with rope detailing, bringing subtle variation in texture to the restrained grey and walnut palette.
• Open-frame construction — Exposed timber and negative space around the seat keep the chair visually light while allowing the craftsmanship of the frame to remain part of the design.

Why It Works

• Natural material balance — Walnut-toned ash, muted upholstery and rope sit comfortably alongside linen, stone, ceramics and other tactile finishes associated with Japandi interiors.
• Structure without heaviness — The defined timber frame introduces architectural lines while the upholstered seat and back soften the overall composition.
• A considered occasional piece — Its open profile makes the Kiso particularly suited to a reading corner or as a pair of lounge chairs opposite a sofa, where the timber frame can be appreciated from multiple angles.

FAQs

What is the Kiso Chair made from?
The Kiso features a solid ash timber frame finished with a walnut stain, paired with polyester upholstery and rope detailing. Ash is valued in furniture making for its strength and distinctive natural grain.

Will there be variations in the timber?
Yes. As solid ash is a natural material, variations in grain, tone and markings should be expected. The walnut stain creates consistency in the overall colour while allowing the individual character of the timber to remain visible.

How should I care for the Kiso Chair?
Dust the timber regularly with a soft, dry cloth and clean spills promptly, avoiding abrasive or chemical cleaners. Vacuum the upholstery gently using an upholstery attachment and blot spills rather than rubbing. Keeping the chair away from prolonged direct sunlight will also help preserve both the timber finish and fabric over time.
