Oki-Nami Chair
Commissioned for a Japanese restaurant in Brighton, the wrap-around back still supports you sitting sideways.
Nazanin Kamali designed the Oki-Nami Chair in 2008 for the Oki-Nami restaurant, where it had to deliver Japanese craft precision and survive nightly service. Made for Case in solid oak or walnut with a leather seat pad over layered foam, it was shortlisted for the 2009 Restaurant & Bar Design Awards and remains built for both homes and contract use.

Common Questions
Is the Oki-Nami Chair durable enough for daily dining?
Yes — it was engineered for busy restaurant service, so solid-wood joinery and a wipeable leather seat pad handle everyday family use easily.
What makes the wrap-around back special?
The curved back doubles as a natural armrest and supports your body even when sitting sideways — a detail drawn from the original restaurant brief.
Does it require assembly?
No. The chair arrives fully assembled and ready to use.
