The chair comes in several natural finish options and boasts an ultra-strong aesthetic that makes it perfect for use as a dining room seat, desk chair and beyond.
The 'SSD Chair' -- which stands for "Simple, Strong and Durable" -- is positioned to last for at least 20 years to put a focus on sustainability in a move against fast fashion furniture.
