Wooden office chairs

Wood brings natural warmth and a presence to the office area that matches the furniture in the house. Among our office chairs, this Nordlys selection combines wooden elements with varied seats and backs, from cane weaving to soft textiles. Find the model that connects your workspace to your decoration, with dimensions and features adapted to your habits.

Wood, a warm material for your office area

The grain and nuances of the wood give relief to a chair, even when its lines remain very understated. A light finish accompanies a bright, Scandinavian decor. A darker shade creates a retro note, especially with a beige seat or black details.

Wood can make up certain parts of the chair while the base or the mechanism use other materials. Consult the description of the structure to know precisely this distribution. The designer office chairs allow us to explore several interpretations of these associations. In an open room, a reminder of wood on a shelf or table is often enough to create continuity.

Cane weaving, corduroy or bouclé: combine wood with the seat

Associating wood with another material allows you to nuance the silhouette. An openwork back visually lightens the whole, while a textile seat provides a more enveloping presence. Look at the piece of furniture from the front and back to appreciate its effect in the room.

Coherence can be built around a color rather than a perfectly matched set. The wood of the desk and that of the chair may differ if their nuances interact. A few wooden chairs in the neighboring dining area can extend this natural atmosphere, with a distinct function and proportions.

Cane weaving for a retro and airy feel

Cane weaving introduces a regular, openwork pattern, which reveals the background. On a backrest, it can give an impression of lightness and underline a vintage inspiration. It goes particularly well with plain textiles and simple lines.

To repeat this detail elsewhere in the room, cane weaving armchairs create a discreet link with the relaxation area. However, choose your work chair according to its specific characteristics: the shape of the backrest, the seat height and the available adjustments influence the use more than a visual resemblance to an armchair.

Textiles for greater softness at work

The corduroy provides graphic relief, while the bouclé offers a visually softer texture. A bouclé office chair allows you to explore this second atmosphere. Depending on the model, faux suede or faux leather offer other results, to be compared in the composition information.

The covering accompanies comfort, but the foam, the usable depth and the profile of the seat remain essential. A beige seat highlights richly coloured wood; a darker textile can make the contours of the furniture more assertive. Think about the desired maintenance and the time spent in the office to decide between materials.

Comfort and solidity of a wooden office chair

The solidity depends on the entire chair: structure, base, assemblies and possible mechanism. Check the maximum load indicated for the chosen reference and pay particular attention to the stability of its base. If a certification is mentioned, consult the components concerned.

For comfort, compare the seat-height adjustment range with your desktop height. Leave room for your legs and for moving the seat back. The armrests and the base must also fit into the available space.

Care for the wood according to its finish with a soft cloth, without excess water, and follow the instructions specific to textile or woven parts. Follow the instructions for assembling and checking the fixings. Our ideas for effectively arranging your work area complete these guidelines in order to create a coherent and pleasant office area on a daily basis.
