kai chair - ash smoked

The kai chair is a study in restraint. A wide, curved crest rail floats above an open, architectural back, leaving a generous line of negative space that keeps the silhouette light from every angle.

Kai is our tribute to Hans J. Wegner, the Danish master who trained as a cabinetmaker before going on to design more than 500 chairs, and who shaped the way the world thinks about the Danish modern dining chair. Wegner believed a chair should be honest in its construction and generous to sit in, and spent a lifetime refining it. Kai copies none of his designs. It carries forward his spirit: solid timber, joinery you can see and feel, and curves made for the hand.

Crafted in solid ashwood, the finest and most characterful timber in our upper tier, and finished in a deep smoked stain that lets the grain show through. The open grain is something you can feel beneath your fingertips. Softly rounded joints flow from the seat frame into four gently tapered legs, while a slim seat pad in sable carbon sits flush within the frame, adding comfort without bulk.

Equally at home in a dining room, a restaurant, a cafe or a boutique hotel. Choose standard as shown, or customise to have it made to order in your own upholstery. Allow 6 to 8 weeks for customised orders.

Daily cleaning is done with a clean dry cloth. Use a damp cloth soaked in clean water for light soiling. Harsh or abrasive cleaners should never be used as they can cause damage and, in the worst case, scratch the stained surface. It is not recommended to use sharp tools for cleaning as this can cause damage and deep scratches in the stained surface.

Avoid using cleaning products with chemicals.
