A Seat that Shapes Space

This bold, sculptural chair is a celebration of volume, contrast, and playful proportion. A faithful dupe of the iconic Pipe Chair by Sebastian Herkner, it balances a grounded, oversized seat with a buoyant tubular backrest—delivering high-impact design in a surprisingly versatile silhouette. Equal parts architectural and approachable, it’s a showpiece that doesn’t take itself too seriously.

Industrial Meets Soft

Polished metal supports plush upholstery, merging raw structure with inviting tactile comfort.

Two-Tone Rhythm

Questions About The Pipe Chair

How long until I receive my order?

The Pipe Chair arrives approximately 6-10 Weeks from the day of order.

Our products take longer to arrive than most others on the internet. But there's a good reason why. Most of our pieces are made to order and ship directly from the source. We don’t keep warehouses or carry excess inventory. This is how we cut costs and pass thousands in savings back to you. But it also means you have to wait a bit longer.

What is your return policy

The Pipe Chair can be returned Made-to-order, no returns accepted after receiving the order if the product is damaged or unusable.

Our products are made to order. So we cannot offer returns for changes in preference. But we always do what we can to make it right.

To be returned, products need to be completely unused and still in their original packaging.

How can I track my order?

The Pipe Chair ships within 7 days of order placement.

Once your order has been shipped, you will receive an email with tracking details, allowing you to monitor its progress. Simply use the provided tracking information on our delivery partner’s website to stay updated on your shipment.

Judge us by our looks

Our packaging is safe, simple, and proudly no frills. We don't think it makes sense to pay for things you throw away immediately.

That's why the Pipe Chair ships in the same protective packaging the manufacturer uses, covered in functional stickers and foreign stamps showing the journey it's been on.

We don't hide it and wear it as a badge of honor for the places our products have been and the people who made them.
