Solina Dining Chair

The Solina is an armless dining chair from Four Hands, built on a rounded solid oak frame that softens the usual hard edges of a traditional side chair. Slim tapered legs lift the seat well off the floor, and the back curves gently toward the sitter. Underneath, the seat rests on webbing over a corner-block frame, and the woven upholstery is chosen to handle daily meals, spills included.

The shape borrows from classic dining chairs and trims them down to the essentials of line and proportion. The oak finish comes in a lighter or a deeper tone, so the chair can sit quietly beside a pale pedestal table or hold its own against a darker trestle. It mixes easily with a bench on one side of the table, a pair of upholstered host chairs at the ends, or a set of mismatched wood pieces collected over time.

Set a few around a dining table and the open legs keep the room feeling light. The armless profile tucks under the tabletop between meals, which helps in smaller dining rooms and eat-in kitchens. It also works as a desk chair or at a vanity, anywhere you want a seat with a little softness and a clean outline.
