Why this sidechair earns its place
Soft oak is the lighter of the Hanoi finishes, and it changes the character of this chair against the same Shetland scarlet fabric — instead of the deeper, more rustic contrast of a darker oak tone, the scarlet reads brighter and cleaner against the paler timber, better suited to rooms that want light and airy rather than heavy and rustic. It's a small difference in finish that changes the whole feel of the chair in a room.
Built as a sidechair, it's sized for dining use at 890mm tall, 400mm wide and 430mm deep, on a rubber wood frame — the same dense, durable timber used across the Hanoi range because it stands up to daily commercial wear rather than because it's decorative. It arrives fully assembled, so there's nothing to build once it's off the pallet.
Sold in packs of two at a gross shipping weight of 8kg, it's an easy way to top up or replace dining seating in matched pairs. It's built for indoor use, so it belongs in a dining room or covered interior rather than an exposed terrace.
