A good conversation asks something of a chair. You want to be comfortable, but you also want to face the person opposite you without having to pull yourself out of the cushions. Settle too far back and even reaching for your coffee becomes an effort.

A Sociable Disposition

Conceived with hospitality in mind, Tinker accommodates the changing ways people use shared spaces. A morning coffee becomes an informal meeting; a brief exchange turns into a longer conversation. The same happens around an office table or at home when guests stay for another drink. A chair that allows for these shifts earns its place.

Tinker’s proportions follow from this understanding. A generous cushion encourages you to settle in, while the plywood backrest supports a comfortably upright position. There is room to shift, lean towards a table or turn to a companion. The comfort comes as much from this freedom as from the softness of the seat.

Lightness in the Details

Slender steel legs give the upholstered volume a lightness that becomes particularly apparent when several chairs are grouped together. Space beneath and around the seat keeps the composition open, allowing Tinker to offer generous comfort without dominating the room.

Its character comes from the relationship between wood, fabric and metal. The precision of the steel frame brings the warmth of the wood into focus, while the upholstery adds fullness and texture. From behind, the exposed plywood backrest gives the chair a distinct presence. It is a considered detail for a piece often placed away from walls, seen and approached from different directions.

Tinker’s hospitality origins extend naturally into everyday life. Around a table with colleagues or beside a friend at home, the quality of a seat is often felt in how little attention it asks of you. You settle in, find your position and get back to the conversation.
