REFINED OUTLINE — OUTLINE DINING CHAIR / SUMI ASH

The Outline Dining Chair is designed by Norm Architects for the Japanese furniture brand Ariake. True to its name, the Outline chair is defined by the precise, graphic quality of its silhouette — a clean, considered form that draws the eye through its structure rather than its mass. This version features a Sumi ash frame — ash treated with traditional Japanese Sumi charcoal finishing — lending the chair a deep, smoky tone that adds tonal drama to any dining setting. Available in multiple seat configurations, the Outline chair works equally well as a standalone accent or as part of a cohesive dining setting.
