NOBU Dining ARMChair
An architectural solid wood dining chair defined by a low curved crest rail, tapered legs, and a tailored cushioned seat.
A dining chair is often seen from behind, especially in an open-plan home where the dining area connects to the living space. This is where the Nobu Dining Armchair makes an impression.
Its curved wooden frame wraps around the upholstered backrest, extending into slender armrests that create a continuous, flowing silhouette. The back of the chair is just as considered as the front, making Nobu particularly attractive when arranged around a dining table that is visible from different parts of the home.
The combination of exposed wood and upholstery gives Nobu a balance of structure and softness. Its padded seat and backrest provide comfort for everyday dining, while the wooden armrests offer additional support without making the chair appear heavy. The open sides and slender legs allow the design to retain a light, elegant appearance.
Nobu is especially well suited to dining spaces where the table takes centre stage. Around an oval or round dining table, its curved backrest follows the softer lines of the setting, creating a cohesive arrangement. With a rectangular table, the chair introduces gentle curves that break up the straight edges.
Its understated character makes it a natural fit for contemporary, Japandi and mid-century modern interiors. Rather than relying on elaborate details, Nobu brings interest through the shape of its wooden frame and the way the upholstery sits within it.
For homeowners looking for a wooden dining chair with armrests and upholstered comfort, Nobu offers an elegant alternative to fully upholstered dining chairs.
Made to order in Malaysia by NICCHRIS, the Nobu Dining Armchair is available with a selection of upholstery fabrics and wood stains to suit your preferences.

Cohesive Interior Curation
Nobu is proportioned to accompany contemporary solid wood dining tables, apartment dining zones, and open kitchen arrangements. Consider pairing it with these complementary workshop pieces:
Montana Dining Table
The Montana Dining Table features generous proportions and expressive timber figure. Arranging the compact Nobu Dining Chairs along its length creates an inviting dining suite where the chair's curved timber crest rails soften the table's solid rectilinear mass.
Crate Dining Table
The disciplined linear apron and tapered legs of the Crate Dining Table provide a clean rectangular foundation. Pairing it with the low backrest profile of the Nobu chair preserves open sightlines across the dining hall while maintaining comfortable perimeter seating.
