The Plan Dining Chair exemplifies Barber and Osgerby's passion for industrial design, incorporating the key industrial principles of materiality, tactility and durability. The result is a robust yet elegant piece that will undoubtedly stand the test of time, with the choice of materials ensuring both comfort and longevity.
Designed with ergonomics in mind, the chair features a curved wooden seat, that once paired with the utilitarian tubular steel frame, combines into one considered form. The chair's minimal footprint makes it adaptable to any table or setting, whether placed in a kitchen, dining room, or office. Also available upholstered in leather.
