Daumiller Dining Armchair - Modern Wooden Dining Chair with Upholstered Seat - Perfect for Kitchen, Dining Room, and Restaurant Settings

The GUBI Daumiller Dining Armchair, a masterpiece of 1970s Danish design by Rainer Daumiller, demonstrates how sustainable materials and timeless craftsmanship can create furniture that becomes increasingly relevant with time. Originally produced at Hirtshals Sawmill in 1977, this bold dining chair has been meticulously reintroduced by GUBI in collaboration with Daumiller himself, preserving the original's innovative approach to sustainable design.

Drawing inspiration from traditional Danish milking stools and Hans J. Wegner's China Chair, Daumiller created a piece that masterfully balances durability with sculptural beauty. The chair's robust construction in certified solid pine – a conscious choice that was decades ahead of its time in terms of sustainability – creates a striking visual presence while maintaining a surprisingly light weight.

What sets the Daumiller chair apart is its thoughtful ergonomic design achieved without upholstery. The generously proportioned seat and three-part arms and backrest are precisely milled and hand-finished to follow the body's natural contours, ensuring exceptional comfort for extended periods. Each chair develops its own character through pine's distinctive grain patterns and knots, creating unique variations within the design's strong architectural form.

The chair's visible joinery and connections demand exceptional precision in craftsmanship, showcasing GUBI's commitment to maintaining Daumiller's exacting standards. Finished in lacquered golden pine, this piece speaks to both contemporary sustainability concerns and a renewed appreciation for 1970s design, making it perfect for modern dining spaces seeking furniture with authentic heritage and environmental consciousness.
