Why this sidechair earns its place
The Hanoi is one of those chairs that quietly does two jobs at once: it looks like a considered furniture choice, and it's built like a piece of trade equipment. The dark walnut frame gives it a warm, classic silhouette, while the Shetland forest pattern on the seat pad brings in some texture and colour without shouting about it — the kind of detail that lifts a dining room from "fitted out" to "designed."
Underneath the finish, it's a rubber wood chair through and through, frame included, which is exactly the material you want in a sidechair that's going to be pulled out, sat on, and pushed back in dozens of times a service. Rubber wood is dense and stable, so it holds its joints and its shape under the kind of repeated use a fitted-out dining room or bar puts a chair through — this isn't a chair built for occasional use in a spare room.
It arrives fully assembled and is sold as a pack of two, at 8 kg gross per pack, so there's no flat-pack build time between delivery and service — unload, place, and you're seating covers. Each chair stands 890 mm tall on a 400 mm wide, 430 mm deep footprint, a standard dining-height profile that sits comfortably at most restaurant and café tables without needing to hunt for a matching seat height elsewhere.
