Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec shape Steelwood through a precise dialogue between natural timber and industrial metal, giving the chair a warm yet architectural identity for contemporary interiors. Solid beech defines the seat and legs, while a steel-plate backrest finished with polyester powder coating introduces a crisp structural contrast and forms the integrated armrests. Conceived for indoor use, this wood and metal dining chair works naturally in residential dining rooms, restaurants, meeting spaces and refined hospitality environments. Its proportions combine supportive seating with visual openness, allowing the natural character of wood and the graphic strength of steel to remain equally present within the composition.

Distinctive seating within Magis Chairs & Small Armchairs

The Magis Steelwood Chair with solid beech seat and legs and polyester powder-coated steel backrest belongs to Magis Chairs & Small Armchairs, where material clarity and everyday functionality meet a strong contemporary expression. The family is available in Natural Beech 7011/White 5108, White Beech 7108/White 5108, Black Beech 7140/Black 5140 and American Walnut 7100/Black 5140, allowing designers to move from light tonal combinations to deeper, more graphic contrasts. Supplied with felt pads, the chair also includes a practical detail for suitable interior flooring. The combination of wood and steel gives the design a tactile yet disciplined character that suits both residential and professional applications.

Craftsmanship and industrial precision in one structure

The design language of Magis emerges through the deliberate contrast between warm timber and a precisely formed metal backrest. The solid wooden elements give the chair visual depth and a natural tactile quality, while the powder-coated steel plate adds definition and reinforces the architectural profile. Integrated armrests create a more composed and supportive seating position, making this wooden dining chair with arms suitable for longer meals, meetings and hospitality use. The different finish combinations allow the chair to coordinate with timber, stone, lacquered surfaces and contemporary metalwork, while its restrained geometry keeps the overall composition balanced. Steelwood offers a refined solution for interiors where material authenticity and clear construction are essential to the atmosphere.
