The Ottawa dining chair is truly a unique piece of design. Inspired by nature with its leaf shape and a forest of legs, it brings character to any dining table while still being very comfortable.

The table is extendable and can easily be expanded by one person making room for 14 people. The mechanics are of course hidden. It just works, but doesn’t show.
