Umage Heiko Dining Chair

Meet the Heiko Dining Chair, a design that blends Danish design sensibility with Japanese simplicity. True to its name, meaning "balance" in Japanese, Heiko features a sculptural silhouette where a solid yet subtle form creates harmony between calm presence and bold expression. Far more than a piece of furniture, it stands as an object of reflection — an embodiment of thoughtful design and cultural resonance, equally at home around the dining table or as a refined addition to a workspace.

Crafted from FSC™-certified oak or rich walnut with laminated veneer, the chair showcases natural grain and tone, bringing warmth and depth to any interior. Its stackable design allows multiple chairs to be stored effortlessly without compromising on stability or style, making it as practical as it is elegant — a versatile choice for both private homes and professional spaces.

Designed by Italian designer Nicola Bonriposi, whose approach is rooted in the craft of materials and processes, Heiko reflects a career shaped by studios in Milan, Berlin, and Belgium. "Heiko explores the concept of balance through a sculptural silhouette, where a solid yet subtle form creates a harmony between calm presence and bold expression," says Bonriposi.

The chair measures 83 × 55.4 × 42 cm, weighs 7.5 kg, and requires approximately 5 minutes of assembly. It is certified to EN 16139 (Furniture – Seating, Level 1). In collaboration with One Tree Planted, a tree is planted for every wooden UMAGE design sold, adding a sustainable edge to this quiet statement piece.
