Merkur Dining Chair

Originally designed for one of Norway’s most monumental buildings, the Oslo Stock Exchange, Merkur is a modern take on the archetypal dining chair. Using traditional woodworking techniques to create its timeless form, the solid wood design is available with or without armrests and can be partially upholstered in a range of beautiful fabrics and leather to add further comfort.
