Why Choose the Solid Rubberwood Wishbone Chair?
Durability of Solid Rubberwood

The seat of this wishbone chair is crafted from authentic natural paper cord. This traditional weaving technique ensures a breathable, comfortable, and long-lasting seating surface. It perfectly complements the ergonomic curves of the frame, providing support for hours of dining comfort.
Mid-Century Modern Ergonomics
The Solid Rubberwood Wishbone Chair features a signature steam-bent backrest. Measuring 535515745mm, it fits seamlessly under standard dining tables while offering a spacious 435mm seat height.

Tama Te Wiata –
We locked in 40 of these rubberwood wishbone chairs for a major restaurant refit down by the Viaduct, and honestly, we are pretty stoked with how they turned out. In NZ, everyone loves that mid-century timber look, but trying to source original designer pieces for a commercial budget usually means you get absolutely rinsed on the price. These ones hit a brilliant sweet spot.
I was a little bit skeptical about the solid rubberwood frame at first instead of traditional ash or oak, but fair play, they are bloody solid. They have a good weight to them and the steam-bent backrest is done properly—no weird stress lines or rough patches in the grain. The woven cord seat is tight and springy too. We reckon it’ll hold up well against the usual high turnover of a busy weekend dinner crowd.
Only reason I’m knocking off one star is the shipping to our neck of the woods took ages to arrive at the port, which had us sweating a bit close to the grand opening. Also, because they are packed tight to save freight space, we had to spend an afternoon wiping down a bit of factory dust off the frames before setting them up. Nothing major, just a bit of elbow grease needed.
Once they were under the restaurant lights and paired with our custom macrocarpa tables, they looked absolutely mint. The client is over the moon. Choice bit of gear for any commercial design team looking for high-end style without blowing the budget. Chur.
