Amare Dining Chair

The Amare Dining Chair from Four Hands is an armless side chair with a solid ash frame and an open, shapely back. The seat is a fixed, knife-edge cushion of foam and polyester batting over a wooden platform, covered in top-grain leather or a woven fabric depending on the finish. The frame is joined with mortise and tenon and reinforced with corner blocks, and plastic glides protect the floor underneath.

The design draws on clean, simple Scandinavian furniture, where light wood and visible grain do most of the talking. The curved back and slim legs keep the chair visually light, so it sits easily around a heavy table or a thin one. Leather versions soften and pick up character over time, while the fabric versions bring a quieter, textured look. The ash will vary a little from chair to chair in grain and tone.

Pull a set up to a dining table, or use a single chair at a desk, a vanity, or a bedroom corner. The open back lets the frame show from across the room, which suits a space where the chairs stay in view. Leather and fabric both wipe clean with a light hand, so everyday meals and long dinners are fine.
