An inspired addition to the Hana line of seating from Moooi, the dining chair carries an aesthetic which is suitably evocative of the larger armchairs in the family, and yet at the same time features a visual language which it can happily claim to be of its own.
Shapely and inviting, the Hana takes its visual cue from the unfurling of a flower, with its name taken from the Japanese phrase for "blooming". The generous proportions of the Hana Dining Chair make it well-suited for long evenings relaxing over food, while the expressive colourways cater for endless possibilities.
