Japandi Dining Chairs
Jump To Our PicksJapandi style combines the best of the Scandinavian idea of “hygge” and the Japanese idea of “wabi-sabi.” Hygge is the Nordic term for the homely feeling of coziness and wabi-sabi relates to finding beauty in imperfection. Many of these dining chairs feature a slightly curved back with arms that scoop around you for a sense of embracing or coziness. Each chair is constructed in natural woods and fabrics aren’t all high glitz and polish. Natural. Simple. Japandi.

Set of Two Japandi Wishbone Dining Chairs
Poly and Bark
These solidly-constructed dining chairs frames are constructed from solid wood, while the woven chair seats are woven from 100% natural hemp woven cord. They come fully assembled and weigh only 15 lbs with a generous 21.5” seat width and depth. They tuck neatly under your tabletop.
Designer Advice:
This Wishbone design was first created in 1949 by designer Hans Wegner. They are pretty enough to pull into your living room as extra seating, but you might want to add a back cushion to rest against as the rounded back with center vertical bar isn’t as supportive as a full backrest.

Curved Arms Japandi Arm Chair
These Japandi dining chairs are in the Wishbone styling and come as a set of two chairs. The natural rush seats are woven into a diamond pattern, adding contrast to the lines of the chair frame. Dust and/or vacuum the chair seats and do not wash them with water.
Designer Advice:
As the arms of this dining chair curve to the front significantly, you’ll want to ensure you have enough room around your dining table to allow for the chairs to be pushed in less than half their depth of 17”. If you fall in love with these chairs but don’t have room around all sides of your dining table, you could just use them at the head and foot.
