Crafted from solid oak, each chair features a strikingly robust and chunky form, with angular lines and a powerful presence. The chairs are characterized by their unique, high-back design, where the backrests are artistically cut out, creating a keyhole shape that adds visual interest and a sense of lightness to the otherwise solid structure.

The seats are generously proportioned and slightly curved for comfort, supported by wide, sturdy legs that are slightly splayed, ensuring stability. The natural wood grain of the oak is prominently displayed, enhancing the chairs' organic appeal and emphasizing the raw beauty of the material. The rich, warm tones of the oak contribute to the chairs' inviting and grounded appearance.

These dining chairs are a perfect representation of the Brutalist movement's emphasis on form and materiality, making them a standout feature in any dining space. Their bold design and solid construction make them functional and a reflection of the era's appreciation for minimalism and architectural forms. See less
