Tiptoe ETUDE Chair

A school-chair archetype, redrawn with a curved veneer seat and a separate backrest that softens the whole line.

Tiptoe's Paris studio kept the familiar silhouette and rebuilt it in PEFC/FSC-certified oak veneer and ash on a powder-coated steel frame, made in Latvia and Denmark and carrying the EU Ecolabel. It ships flat in one carton, stacks up to four, and comes apart at end of life so the wood and steel recycle separately. Tiptoe is a Certified B Corp with a score of 90.6 — more in the Tiptoe collection.

Common Questions

Will the ETUDE work at a dining table?
Yes. The seat sits 18.1 in from the floor, standard dining height, and the 20.5 x 16.9 in footprint is compact enough to tuck fully under a table between meals.

Does ETUDE arrive flat-packed?
Yes. It ships flat in a single carton and is assembled at home; at 10.6 lbs it is light enough for one person to build and move, and it stacks up to four for storage.

What does the EU Ecolabel on this chair mean?
It is the European Union's official environmental label, awarded to products meeting criteria across their life cycle. Tiptoe lists it on the ETUDE alongside PEFC/FSC certification for the wood.
