JOOT Dining Chair
An architectural solid wood dining chair defined by an open rectilinear frame, sculpted timber armrests, and handwoven natural jute fiber cord.
The Joot Dining Chair brings a playful sense of geometry to the dining table. Its crossed wooden legs create a bold, angular silhouette, while the woven natural jute fiber cord seat and backrest introduce a softer, more natural character.
What gives Joot its personality is the contrast between these two elements. The solid wood frame has a strong, defined shape, yet the jute weaving keeps the chair feeling light and relaxed. Viewed from the side, the intersecting legs become a distinctive design feature. From the front, the woven backrest adds texture without overwhelming the overall form.
Joot is particularly appealing in dining spaces where the furniture is meant to be appreciated from different angles. In an open-plan home, its unusual leg structure remains visible even when the chairs are tucked beneath the table, adding interest to the dining arrangement.
The armless design makes it easy to move in and out of the dining table, while the woven seat and backrest offer an alternative to conventional upholstered dining chairs. For those who enjoy the character of natural materials, Joot brings the appeal of rattan into a more contemporary wooden structure.
Its design sits comfortably between mid-century modern and modern tropical influences. Paired with a simple timber dining table, Joot creates a cohesive setting that celebrates natural materials. Alongside a stone or marble tabletop, the woven rattan introduces a welcome contrast in texture.
The Joot Dining Chair is also available in an armrest version, allowing you to combine both designs around the same table for a coordinated dining arrangement.
Made to order in Malaysia by NICCHRIS, the Joot Dining Chair offers a distinctive combination of solid wood, woven rattan and expressive design for everyday dining.

Cohesive Interior Curation
Joot Arm is proportioned to accompany monumental dining tables, perimeter storage credenzas, and open-plan dining zones. Consider pairing it with these complementary workshop pieces:
Candied Rectangular Dining Table
The Candied Rectangular Dining Table anchors large dining areas with pillowed bullnose edges and substantial solid wood pedestal pillars. Arranging the Joot Arm Dining Chairs along its perimeter introduces breathable natural jute texture and tactile armrests, balancing the table's grounded linear mass with airy, handwoven craft.
Buddy Sideboard
Designed to serve as a functional dining room buffet credenza or perimeter storage piece, the Buddy Sideboard features disciplined solid wood casework and soft curved corners. Pairing it with the open frame of the Joot Arm Dining Chair unifies the dining space through continuous natural timber materiality and balanced spatial weight.
