Shallal Swingback

The Shallal Swingback Diner is the flagship of the Shallal collection, defined by its flowing silhouette and sculptural presence. Crafted from layered Okoume plywood, the chair reveals 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 features the signature Swingback — a subtly flexible backrest that adapts to the sitter to provide firm support and exceptional comfort. With an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and a silhouette that continues the collection's language of harmony and fluidity, the Shallal Swingback Diner embodies the collection's commitment to material honesty and structural ingenuity.
