The LINDE CHAIR unfolds like a blossoming flower. Open and inviting, it brings the comfort of an armchair to your table. Wood, textile and steel enter into dialogue. Finely crafted transitions between materials create a subtle tension. From the steel, your fingertips glide across the floral grain of solid wood and continue onto soft textile. The aesthetic of LINDE is progressive and distinct. The feeling is gentle and familiar. Elements like the lounge-like backrest or the expressive steel frame give the design its clarity. Inside the backrest, a flexible construction creates surprising softness.

The LINDE SOFT version feels relaxed with its loose drape, while the smooth version appears clear and pure. The concept includes the possibility to easily replace parts over time. LINDE is made to stay with you for decades and evolve along the way. Designed for your home as well as fine dining, representative conference spaces and ambitious interior projects. Experience LINDE and the deeply relaxed feeling of an armchair at the table.

DAVID WENDT (HEAD OF DESIGN) ON THE LINDE CHAIR:

“At the beginning, there was the image of a blossoming flower. A form that opens, feels present, yet carries something very soft. I wanted to translate exactly that feeling into the chair. The flower has often been referenced in the history of chair design. I consciously engaged with that reference and tried to turn it into something of our own, reflecting the attitude of OBJEKTE UNSERER TAGE. Not polite. Not conforming. But with character.

From the front, a strong sense of harmony emerges. Legs, seat and back follow the same line weight, as if drawn in a single movement. This gives the chair a clarity that feels calm in space, without becoming generic. The materials and their transitions continue the story. That is where the aesthetic comes to life. Up close, you begin to see the level of detail and craftsmanship that goes into it. I find that kind of understatement and depth incredibly appealing in furniture.

At the same time, my goal was to bring the comfort of an armchair to the dining table. The moment you sit down should simply feel right. The padding is deliberately generous. Nothing feels hard, everything gives slightly. The backrest is constructed with a flexible inner structure and foam, allowing it to move gently and adapt to the body. You don’t feel any hard wooden elements against your back, as is often the case. LINDE is something you have to experience to fully understand.

The slightly lounge-like feeling also comes from the proportions. The back is not overly high, everything happens on one level. This keeps the chair present without making it heavy or outdated. It remains open, light and fresh.

Another important aspect is the ability to replace individual elements. This not only makes LINDE long-lasting, but also invites a more playful approach to color and material. The chair can evolve over time.

The name LINDE is closely tied to Berlin. Unter den Linden is a place where many things come together: movement, history, everyday life. That same quality is what I wanted the chair to carry. Familiar, yet new.”

The LINDE TABLE is a statement. Classic in form, yet unexpected in its materiality. When your hand touches the table, you feel a sensory richness in every detail. The column and underside are upholstered in textile, which is unusual in itself. A subtle layer of padding creates a soft, refined touch, while fabric or wipeable leather appears perfectly smooth. The seams are set into precisely milled channels, with a level of craftsmanship typically found in the interior of a luxury automobile. This is where the technique comes from. Above, the tabletop in solid ash wood sits like a macaron, guiding the hand softly along its edge. Each lamella is carefully selected, arranged and glued to achieve a refined and balanced composition. The surface is finished in three layers with multiple drying phases. You can still feel the floral grain with your fingertips, yet the finish is resistant enough that glasses leave no marks. LINDE is a contemporary and passionate interpretation of German craftsmanship, showing everything that can be achieved at this production site.

“With the LINDE TABLE, the idea was to give a very archetypal form a new identity. I’m interested in that moment when something familiar suddenly triggers a different feeling.

The approach was to combine a clear, almost classical form with an unexpected materiality. Upholstering the column and underside in textile is unusual. Whether in durable fabric or wipeable vegan leather, everything is crafted to feel calm and precise, yet soft to the touch, supported by a subtle layer of padding.

It was important not to think about materiality in a rigid way. Fabric might seem delicate at first, but in everyday use it is surprisingly robust and easy to maintain. At the same time, vegan leather offers an alternative that is nearly indestructible. The table should not create hesitation, but feel natural to use.

Details like the seams were essential. They are not simply applied but set into milled channels, becoming part of the design itself. This level of precision is more commonly found in luxury automotive interiors. I was interested in translating that into furniture, using techniques that are well established in southern Germany. Producing a table like LINDE requires true craftsmanship.

The tabletop is a subject in itself. It sits like a rounded macaron on the base, creating a sense of lightness in combination with the materials. Each wooden lamella is selected and arranged by hand. We don’t buy pre-made panels. The outer pieces are wider, becoming narrower towards the center, creating a calm and balanced composition.

The finish is applied in multiple layers with extended drying phases. It takes time, and time creates quality. The grain remains tangible, while the surface is robust enough that glasses leave almost no marks.

The name LINDE is closely connected to Berlin. Unter den Linden is a place where movement, history and everyday life coexist. The table is always conceived in dialogue with the LINDE CHAIR. Together, they form a composition that only fully unfolds as a whole.”
