101 Copenhagen Nama Dining Chair

The Nama Dining Chair with Armrest in Nubuck by 101 Copenhagen represents a masterful fusion of Japanese minimalism and Scandinavian craftsmanship. Designed by Kristian Sofus Hansen and Tommy Hyldahl, this chair draws inspiration from traditional Japanese stick chairs while incorporating contemporary comfort and elegance.

Named after the Japanese word for "raw" and "natural," the Nama embodies a philosophy of refined simplicity where every curved wooden element serves both structural and aesthetic purpose. The chair features a distinctive upholstered backrest inspired by Copenhagen bicycle bags, secured with simple straps, paired with a fully upholstered seat. The addition of armrests enhances comfort and functionality, making this piece ideal for dining tables, workspaces, or as a sculptural accent seating option.

Crafted from FSC-certified American Red Oak with a nubuck upholstery, this chair balances organic warmth with soft elegance. The nubuck material offers a supple, tactile surface that develops a unique patina over time, while the oak frame provides enduring strength and stability. Weighing 5 kilograms, the chair measures 79.5 cm in height, 50 cm in length, and 54 cm in width, making it lightweight yet substantial.

Built to age beautifully, the Nama Dining Chair with Armrest combines living materials that grow more individual with each passing year. Its sculptural lines and refined craftsmanship make it a versatile addition to contemporary interiors, whether used individually or paired with others for a cohesive dining setting.
