Zeitraum Okito Ply Dining Chair
OKITO PLY DINING CHAIR
Okito Ply Dining extends the OKITO family by a dining chair with a large backrest. The contract chair can be used at the private dining table as well as at the conference table and in the restaurant. The upholstery variant offers additional seating comfort.
In the restaurant, he defines the quieter area where the guest wants to stay longer. It can ideally be combined with the lighter version OKITO PLY. Different zones can be created in this way.
At the conference table, the OKITO PLY DINING offers the necessary comfort thanks to the ergonomic molded wood seat. The backrest absorbs the movement of the body and swings with it. At the dining table, too, the chair is formal, subtly designed and solidly built.
