Dining Chair (Ash wood frame)

The DC-004 dining chair is built on an ash wood frame. Ash is a light-colored, smooth-grained hardwood, typically straight-grained with a beige-to-light-brown hue, and it darkens gently over time with exposure to light and air. That clean, even grain gives the chair a quiet, contemporary read at the table without competing with the place setting in front of it.

As a frame material for a dining chair, ash earns its place structurally. White ash sits at roughly 1320 lbf on the Janka hardness scale as a species reference — just below white oak and above red oak, walnut and cherry — which is why it is regarded as a durable, shock-resistant hardwood that stands up to the daily push-back-from-the-table use a dining chair sees. (That figure describes the species in general, not a tested rating of this finished piece.)

Ash also takes a finish exceptionally well, holding tone and grain definition cleanly. Like all wood seating, it lives longest away from direct sun and heat sources such as radiators and HVAC vents, which fade and dry the wood, and in a room held around 40–55% relative humidity so the fibers neither swell nor crack. Day to day, a soft dry or barely-damp microfiber cloth keeps abrasive dust from scratching the surface, and any spill is best blotted promptly, then dried.
