ANTE Dining Chair
An architectural solid wood dining chair defined by a sculpted curved backrest rail, tapered timber legs, and a tailored cushioned seat.
The Ante Dining Chair is a good example of how a few carefully considered details can give a simple wooden chair its own personality.
Its most distinctive feature is the gently curved wooden backrest, shaped with a wider upper section that narrows into two slender supports. This creates an elegant silhouette while leaving the back open, giving Ante a light and uncluttered appearance.
The upholstered seat introduces softness to the solid wood frame, making it an inviting choice for everyday dining. With no armrests and a compact profile, Ante is also practical for dining tables where space and seating arrangements matter.
What makes Ante appealing is its versatility. Its understated design works particularly well in Scandinavian-inspired, Japandi and minimalist dining interiors. It can sit comfortably alongside a simple wooden table or complement a more expressive dining setting without competing for attention.
For homeowners looking for a solid wood dining chair with an upholstered seat in Malaysia, Ante offers a combination of distinctive craftsmanship, everyday practicality and elegant proportions.
Made to order in Malaysia by NICCHRIS, with customisable wood stains and upholstery options.
