The Chair No. 2 is a handcrafted solid beech dining chair with a clear, balanced silhouette and a softly upholstered seat. Its restrained form works naturally in dining rooms, kitchens, home offices, cafés, and other considered interiors.
Choose a Matt Velvet or Vega colour and one of the lacquered wood finishes, or ask us for any other upholstery fabric. Each chair is prepared individually to order.
Design & Comfort
Solid Beech Dining Chair for Everyday Interiors
The design is deliberately simple: a solid wooden frame, a gently shaped backrest, and a comfortable upholstered seat. The result is a versatile chair that complements the interior without dominating it.
Its compact proportions make it suitable for smaller dining spaces as well as larger table arrangements. The foam-padded seat brings softness to the solid wood construction, while the open back keeps the silhouette visually light.
The Chair No. 2 can be used around a dining table, beside a desk, or as an occasional chair in a bedroom or living space. Its understated character works with contemporary, mid-century, minimalist, and softly traditional interiors.
Construction & Materials
Solid European Beech with Matt Velvet or Vega Upholstery

Colours displayed on a computer, tablet, or smartphone may differ from the actual fabric. Screen settings, brightness, colour calibration, daylight, and artificial lighting can all influence how a shade appears.
For this reason, we recommend ordering physical fabric samples before selecting the upholstery, particularly when matching the chair to an existing table, flooring, wall colour, or other textile.

Vega Upholstery
Soft and Resilient Vega Upholstery

Wood Finishes
Choose the Wood Finish
The solid beech frame of The Chair No. 2 is available in six lacquered finishes:
- Beech – a light finish that stays close to the natural tone of the timber
- Light Oak – a warmer, softly golden wood tone
- Alder – a gently reddish, warm mid-tone
- Medium Walnut – a deeper brown finish with a more pronounced character
- Dark Walnut – a rich, dark brown with strong contrast
- Black – a deep graphite-black finish with the grain still visible
Each finish allows the natural grain of the solid beech to remain visible. As wood is a natural material, subtle variations in grain, texture, and tone are expected and make every chair individual.
Colours shown on a computer, tablet, or smartphone may differ from the final wood finish. Screen settings, lighting conditions, and natural differences in the timber can all influence how the colour appears.
To compare the finishes in your own interior before ordering the chair, we recommend ordering physical wood stain samples.
