Shallal Diner

The Shallal Diner traces its origins to the Shallal Swingback Diner — the piece that gave rise to the collection and established its language of movement and fluidity. Crafted from layered Okoume plywood, the chair celebrates the structural ingenuity of the material, embracing its layered composition to deepen the connection between material and design.

Thoughtfully proportioned and ergonomically refined, the chair's continuous waterfall form provides exceptional comfort and support while creating a bold sculptural presence. With an outstanding strength-to-weight ratio and a silhouette that carries the collection's flowing character, the Shallal Diner embodies the collection's commitment to material honesty, structural ingenuity, and enduring design.
