Side Chairs

Deft Chair

Angled view of a Deft side chair with arms, ivory-colored fabric, and a wood frame in a medium finish.

Sculpted to be sleek yet sittable

With a lean, beautifully sculpted wood frame, Deft Chairs enhance interiors without overpowering them. Their exposed wooden skeleton is softened by an elegantly upholstered seat, which invites visitors to relax while waiting or working. Classic mortise-and-tenon joinery is simple yet strong. Available with or without arms.
