A Curve Worth Sitting With

One gesture. Four legs.

This chair traces its lineage to late modernist Scandinavian design — where structure became lighter, details became quieter, and comfort came from proportion instead of excess. A continuous ash backrest wraps around the body while the steel frame keeps everything visually suspended.

• Sculptural wraparound backrest
• Solid ash wood with visible grain
• Genuine leather seat upholstery
• Brushed stainless steel structure
• Compact footprint with generous comfort

Materials

Solid Ash Backrest
The defining element is a continuous curved backrest crafted from solid ash. Thick enough to feel architectural but softened through its radius and grain, it functions as both structure and arm support.

304 Stainless Steel Frame
A slim stainless steel frame supports the seat and back with visual restraint. The brushed finish introduces contrast against the warmth of the wood while maintaining the chair’s precise silhouette.

Genuine Leather Seat
The upholstered seat is finished in genuine leather for a cleaner profile and a softer sit. Slight edge rounding keeps the seat feeling integrated rather than applied.

Design

Part chair, part line drawing.

• The curved backrest creates enclosure without visual heaviness.
• Exposed steel allows the wood element to appear suspended.
• Minimal transitions between materials keep the silhouette uninterrupted.
• Generous arm width supports relaxed dining, reading, or desk use.
• A refined interpretation of late-century European modernism.

Built Around the Sit

Wide enough to feel relaxed, compact enough to work around a table.

Questions About The Portico Chair

How long until I receive my order?

The Portico Chair arrives approximately 5-7 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 Portico Chair can be returned after receiving the order only 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 Portico Chair ships within 1-2 weeks 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 Portico 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.
