Black has a particular authority in interiors. When applied to solid wood, it sharpens silhouette, reveals grain, and lends furniture a sense of continuity across spaces and styles. This week’s selection focuses on pieces where dark stain is integral to the design, allowing structure, material, and proportion to speak with restraint and confidence. KAWARA GamFratesi The Kawara armchair in black stained oak veneer draws on traditional woodworking principles translated into a contemporary profile. Designed by GamFratesi, the chair features a solid wood frame with curved arm and backrest that wrap gently around the sitter. The deep black finish unifies the form and emphasizes its unique silhouette, reinforcing the chair’s architectural reference. Available with or without upholstery. THE LOUNGE CHAIR Space Copenhagen Designed by Space Copenhagen, the Lounge Chair from Mater in black stained beech presents a compact, architectural form grounded in material discipline. The solid wood frame defines the chair’s outline, while the dark finish brings visual cohesion to its sculpted planes. Upholstery is kept minimal, allowing the geometry of the wood to remain the focus. In black, the chair reads as composed and deliberate, suited to living spaces that value quiet structure. DAUMILLER Rainer Daumiller Rainer Daumiller’s armchair is rooted in craftsmanship and honest construction. Made from solid pine and finished in black stain, the chair highlights the expressive quality of carved wood and rounded joinery. The darker tone accentuates its sculptural mass and brings a contemporary edge to a design originally conceived in the 1970s. It is a piece that balances warmth and gravity through material alone. NONOTO COMFORT Läufer and Keichel Nonoto Comfort by Zeitraum is intended to be seen as a sculpture; emblematic from all angles, and engaging the viewer emotionally while maintaining balanced strength, a lightweight structure, and ultimate seating comfort. Made from solid oak and finished in a graphite black stain, the chair’s curved seat and backrest offer support while maintaining a disciplined outline.  001 DINING CHAIR Fredrik Paulsen The 001 Dining Chair by Vaarnii is crafted from solid pine and finished in a deep black stain that heightens its monolithic character. The chair’s straightforward construction and rectilinear profile are intentional, allowing the material to take precedence. In black, the grain remains visible, adding texture and variation within a controlled palette. The result is a dining chair with quiet strength and architectural clarity.
