Where the Northern Oaki collection fits
These chairs work well wherever one seating family needs to serve several purposes. Use them around dining tables in office kitchens, canteens and staff restaurants, or arrange them in meeting rooms and project areas where a familiar four-leg profile is appropriate. They can also suit reception, waiting and hospitality environments that call for uncomplicated seating with a consistent visual identity.
Because the chairs have no adjustable components, they are especially easy to specify for shared spaces. There is no mechanism to maintain or configure, and the fixed format keeps the design visually calm. Consider the available layout, cleaning routine and expected frequency of use before choosing the finish for each area.
How to choose between the Oaki models
Choose the seatpad version
The Northern Oaki 4-Leg Dining Chair With Seatpad is the natural choice when an upholstered contact surface is preferred. Its PU leather seatpad adds a distinct material element to the chair while retaining the collection’s simple four-leg structure. It may be a good fit for dining and meeting settings where users are likely to remain seated for longer periods.
Choose the unupholstered version
The Northern Oaki Dining 4-Leg Dining Chair has no upholstery or padding. Select it when you want the most minimal expression of the collection, or when a plain chair surface fits the surrounding furniture and operational requirements. Its lack of adjustment and upholstery makes the specification especially direct.
Materials, colours and practical checks
Both chairs use a wood base and are available within the collection’s listed black and beige colour options. The seatpad model uses PU leather, while the other model has no upholstery. Check which colour and material combination applies to the model you are considering, then compare it with table finishes, flooring and other seating in the room.
- Confirm whether the space calls for a PU leather seatpad or an unupholstered chair.
- Check the required colour direction: black or beige.
- Review the 135 kg maximum ballast when planning use across shared spaces.
- Allow for the fixed seat format, with no adjustable height, depth or back.
- Consider the two-year warranty and circular designation as part of your furniture plan.
