Woven materials bring a distinct tactility to seating, introducing warmth, variation, and a visible sense of construction. Cane, paper cord, woven rush, and paper loom each carry their own character, shaped as much by tradition as by technique. This week’s selections highlight dining chairs where woven seats are integral to structure and expression, offering a balance of durability, comfort, and material clarity. DAUMILLER SIDE CHAIR Rainer Daumiller The Daumiller Side Chair is defined by its relationship to natural material. Paired with an intentionally robust frame in solid pine, the woven rush seat adds a contrasting lightness, its textured surface revealing the hand of the maker while providing durability and support. Beneath its classic expression lies a forward-thinking innovation: a backrest that moves naturally with the body’s movements, offering a gentle tilt for flexible sitting positions. LILY DINING CHAIR Vincent Sheppard A softer expression comes through in the Lily Dining Chair from Vincent Sheppard, where an oak base supports a handwoven paper loom seat. The gentle curvature of the frame and the slightly more relaxed weave create a chair that feels approachable, with an emphasis on comfort and ease in everyday use. Paper loom available in a wide variety of color options. CH23 Hans J. Wegner Originally introduced in 1950, the CH23 by Hans J. Wegner for Carl Hansen & Søn reflects an early exploration of Wegner’s approach to joinery and proportion. Although the CH23 chair may appear uncomplicated at first glance, it incorporates many fine, sophisticated details, among them the elegant cruciform cover caps in the backrest, a double-woven paper cord seat, and arched rear legs that ensure optimal stability. PK15 Poul Kjærholm The PK15 by Poul Kjærholm for Fritz Hansen pairs a precisely engineered solid ash frame with a handwoven French cane seat. The geometry is exacting, allowing the natural variation of the cane to come forward. Light passes easily through the surface, softening the chair’s presence while maintaining a sense of structure. Also available in black. MODEL 64 Niels Otto Møller The Model 64 by J.L. Møllers Møbelfabrik is characterized by its sculpted backrest and refined proportions. The handwoven paper cord seat is tightly constructed, offering resilience and comfort, while complementing the warmth of the wood frame with a lighter, tactile surface. Paper cord available in natural or black. Frame available in solid oak or walnut.
