The Sensitive Back Chair is an upholstered dining chair inspired by The Sensitive Light Chair. A new model with a more comfortable backrest that retains the refinement and simplicity of its predecessor. Perfect as a dining room chair, it’s an upholstered chair that ensures comfortable seating thanks to its functional design. The wooden sections were processed to be thin and delicate, the backrest was made as thin as possible despite its proven strength, and the surface supporting the back was finished to highlight the vertical sections extending upward from the rear legs. The back of this upholstered dining chair has a smooth finish connecting to the vertical elements to create an elegant look.
