shiro armchair - ash natural

The shiro armchair draws on the golden age of Danish dining chairs, the 1950s, when slender solid wood frames and woven paper cord defined the modern dining room, and on the quiet restraint of Japanese minimalism. Crafted in solid ashwood, our upper tier of timber, it has an open grain you can feel as well as see, finished here in natural with a hand woven espresso brown paper cord seat.

Four tapered legs rise without a visible screw or bracket to meet sculpted armrests, while a single broad backrest is steam bent to follow the curve of the spine. The seat is woven by hand in a traditional pattern from tightly twisted, waxed paper cord, a Scandinavian classic prized for resisting stretch and softening gracefully with years of use. The armrests sit low enough to tuck neatly beneath the table.

Choose the standard version, or customise to order to suit your scheme. Equally at home in a family dining room, a restaurant, a café or a boutique hotel, the shiro brings calm, tactile warmth to any table.

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.
