Horn Chair

The Horn Chair takes its name from its signature back rail: a single, sculpted piece of solid wood that curves around the sitter and tapers out into short, horn-like arms. The rail floats above the seat on a slim central support and the rear legs, leaving the back open and airy. Below, a padded upholstered seat sits on a solid wood frame with simple stretchers, a design rooted in Scandinavian mid-century craft.

Wide and comfortable at 24.5", the Horn works beautifully in steakhouses, hotel restaurants and club dining rooms, especially in walnut with leather. It coordinates with the Horn Stool for a matched bar.

Built for commercial use

The solid wood frame is built with mortise-and-tenon joinery and very few bolted connections. It is tested to 400 lbs and tested internally to meet ANSI/BIFMA standards, and its foam and upholstery meet CAL TB 117-2013. It ships fully assembled from the factory and carries a 3-year frame structural warranty and a 1-year finish and upholstery warranty from shipment.
