A Dining Chair Built From Curves

The Ohrid dining chairs arrive as a coordinated pair, each built on a solid rubberwood frame of turned round posts of matching diameter. The arm frame starts at the front posts, sweeps back along both sides and closes across the rear, where a single upholstered bolster spans the full width and takes the place of a backrest panel. That roll sits low, near the base of the spine rather than up at the shoulders, which leaves the upper body clear and keeps sightlines open across a table. Below it the seat is a deep foam cushion wrapped in woven fabric, set inboard of the frame so the posts stay visible on all sides. Each post tapers to a foot ringed with carved grooves, a turned detail repeated on every leg, and low rails tie the frame together beneath the cushion.

Features

• Single Bolster Backrest spans the full width at the rear and does the whole job of a back, sitting low so the shoulders and head stay clear of the frame entirely
• U-Shaped Arm Frame starts at the front posts, sweeps back along both sides and closes across the rear without a break, holding the bolster at its two ends
• Deep Cushioned Seat measures over twenty-two inches front to back, giving more room to sit back into than a standard dining seat allows
• Foam-Filled Cushions sit under both the seat and the bolster so each holds its shape rather than compressing flat under repeated use
• Reeded Leg Ends finish every post with a band of carved rings, a turned detail that reads as ornament rather than as a joint or a fastener
• Solid Rubberwood Frame turns every visible member to the same round diameter, from the arms and posts through to the rails below the seat
• Woven Fabric Upholstery wraps the cushion and the bolster in an even textured weave that keeps the pale frame from reading flat across a lit room
• 300-Pound Seat Capacity per chair for confident everyday adult seating across the pair
• Mid-Size Dining Footprint suits open-plan dining rooms, breakfast nooks and apartment corners where a low back keeps sightlines clear

Care Instructions

• Vacuum the seat and bolster weekly with a soft brush attachment to lift dust before it settles into the weave
• Work the brush along the seam where the cushion meets the frame, since that channel collects crumbs faster than the open surfaces
• Spot-clean marks with a cloth lightly dampened in mild upholstery cleaner, blotting rather than rubbing so the weave is not pulled
• Test any cleaner on a hidden section of the seat first, and let the fabric dry fully before use
• Wipe the wood frame with a soft dry cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals and household cleaners that can lift the sealed finish
• Clear dust from the carved rings at each foot with a dry brush, as the grooves hold more than the smooth shaft above them
• Blot spills off the wood promptly, since the sealed finish takes up standing moisture at the grain
• Keep the chairs indoors, as the sealed rubberwood is not finished for outdoor exposure
• Keep the chairs out of prolonged direct sunlight to protect both the upholstery and the wood
• Check the joints every few months and retighten by hand, since power drivers can strip the wood screw holes
