Rattan and elm collide to create the dreamiest dining chair. The French Cross Back Dining Chair captures the charm of classic European bistro seating, blending a woven rattan seat with a beautifully weathered elm frame for effortless rustic character.

The signature X back silhouette, rooted in early 20th century French design, gives it that unmistakable café feels. Relaxed. Social. A little romantic. Crafted from solid elm with a softly weathered finish, the frame showcases natural grain and gentle tonal variation. The rounded rattan seat adds warmth and texture, lightly cushioned for everyday comfort while maintaining its authentic woven character. It works beautifully in kitchens, dining rooms and relaxed hospitality spaces. Easy to style. Hard not to love.
