Black metal hairpin legs and a trio of vertical back tubes frame a seat of natural elm wood — the District armchair in black is industrial-influenced design with real warmth at its core.
There is a satisfying honesty about furniture built from metal and solid wood — two materials that behave differently, look different, and make a much more interesting pair for it. In the black District armchair, a powder-coated metal frame provides the structure, with hairpin legs that anchor it in the mid-century aesthetic.
The wide, rounded backrest features a trio of vertical metal tubes across the centre — a design detail that adds visual rhythm without overcomplicating the look. The elm wood seat, by contrast, is all warmth and natural grain, a deliberate counterpoint to the cool, smooth metal that surrounds it.
Use this alongside a solid wood dining table for an eclectic mix that feels considered rather than accidental. It also makes a strong desk chair or occasional seat in a study or living room where a bit of industrial character is welcome.
