Xara Dining Chair Natural Ash by Francesco Feliziani
Make a sculptural statement in your dining space with the Xara Dining Chair in Natural Ash, designed by Francesco Feliziani. This piece moves away from traditional spindle designs, favouring a bold, "chunky" aesthetic that highlights the raw beauty of natural timber. The design is defined by its substantial, pillar-like legs and a unique back construction where the rear supports extend vertically to hold the rounded backrest. It perfectly captures the "Soft Minimalist" and "Japandi" aesthetics, offering a seating solution that is visually grounding yet soft in its geometry.
Key Features
-
Architectural Pillar Legs: The chair sits on thick, plank-style legs with softened edges. The rear legs extend upward to form the spine of the chair, creating a distinctive vertical profile from behind.
-
Organic Contours: While the structure is solid, the edges are rounded and smooth, removing any harsh lines and making the piece safe and inviting for family homes.
-
Floating Backrest: The rounded, paddle-shaped backrest appears to rest effortlessly against the vertical supports, providing ergonomic support with a clean, modern look.
-
Natural Ash Grain: The clear finish celebrates the natural grain of the ash timber, bringing light, organic texture to your dining area.
Why Choose the Xara Dining Chair? The Xara is a perfect example of the "Chubby Furniture" and "Organic Modern" trends currently resonating in Australian interiors. It shifts focus from delicate, thin frames to bold, confident shapes that act as functional art. The pale ash tone makes it an ideal choice for brightening a room, while its solid silhouette ensures it isn't lost when paired with substantial dining tables (such as concrete, stone, or thick timber).
Styling Tip: Play with texture by pairing this all-wood chair with a dining table featuring a contrasting material, such as Travertine stone or a matte white surface. For added comfort and a softer look, drape a sheepskin throw or a linen cushion over the seat.
