Thanks to low-profile, clean-lined furnishings; an earth-tone-inspired colour palette; and little ornamentation, the minimal brutalist design style resonates with many. This organic chair exudes tranquillity through its stylish but understated shape and form.

There is a reason behind solid wooden furniture’s enduring popularity: wood never goes out of style, it is enduring, sturdy, versatile, and therefore visually appealing. The development of design in Belgium is very typical for that in Europe generally, thus a branch of the European design tree with shared characteristics of the era’s Scandinavian and even French design. This dining chair is an evidence of the country’s long furniture manufacturing tradition. The dualism within the chair is amazing: the piece can stand in an interior and have a function but also play a purely aesthetic role. The oak body’s proportion is very harmonious, with a long, sleek back and braced legs. The only element that serves a purely decorative role is the round ears on the top. The seat is very carefully carved to accommodate the sitter, while the high back provides ample support for the back.

From architectural descriptions to individual pieces of furniture, materials, and colour palettes, brutalist style seems to have earned a permanent spot on the décor trend list. Similarly, wood has never gone out of style, and pieces combining the style and the material are only gaining popularity today.
