Common Questions
Is the Risu chair comfortable for long dinners?
Yes — the curved backrest, subtly echoing the organic shape of rice, is designed for ergonomic support, and the solid oak seat is shaped rather than flat.
Can I stack the chairs when not in use?
Yes — Risu stacks up to three high, a rarity in solid oak chairs, which makes it practical for dinner-party households and small spaces.
Is assembly difficult?
No — the chair arrives flat-packed with straightforward assembly, part of a design brief that also reduces shipping volume and emissions.
