Whistler Dining Side Chair
A masterclass in restraint, the Whistler Armless Dining Chair proves that a minimal silhouette can still have maximum presence. Built from substantial planks of Grade A Teak, this chair offers the durability of the "heavy timber" Whistler collection in a versatile, space-saving footprint.
The architectural frame is constructed with mortise-and-tenon joinery for unwavering stability, while the sanded teak finish offers a smooth, tactile touch. Perfect for pairing with the Whistler Dining Table, these chairs allow for tighter seating arrangements, ensuring there is always room for one more guest at the table.
Features
- Space-Saving Design: The armless silhouette allows for easy entry and exit and lets the chair tuck fully beneath the table when not in use.
- Heavy Timber Frame: Inspired by ski lodge construction, the thick teak planks provide exceptional stability and "visual ballast."
- Grade A Teak: Sustainably harvested premium teak naturally resists moisture and UV rays, weathering to a sophisticated silver-grey over time.
- Ergonomic Pitch: The backrest is precisely angled to support a relaxed dining posture, blending upright support with lounge-like comfort.
- Maximized Seating: The lack of armrests allows you to place chairs closer together, maximizing the capacity of your dining table.

GRADE-A TEAK
Our frames are master-crafted from sustainably harvested Grade-A teak, the world’s most durable and prestigious hardwood for outdoor environments.
- The Integrity: High in natural oils and exceptionally dense, our teak is inherently resistant to rot, moisture, and UV degradation.
- The Finish: Left in its natural, raw state to celebrate the organic grain. Over time, the honey-gold wood will gracefully evolve into a distinguished silvery-grey patina, a hallmark of authentic teak.
- Construction: We utilize traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery, allowing the wood to expand and contract naturally with seasonal changes while maintaining uncompromising structural stability.

Designer Notes
In designing the dining chair for the Whistler collection, we faced a challenge: How do you maintain the 'heavy' look of the collection without making the dining area feel crowded? The answer was removing the arms. By keeping the substantial legs and seat planks but eliminating the armrests, we created a chair that feels grounded yet open. It allows the beautiful, thick edge of the dining table to take center stage and gives the host the flexibility to squeeze in an extra friend without the furniture feeling cluttered.

Whistler Dining Chair FAqs
Yes. The seat and back slats are carefully angled and smoothed to provide ergonomic support for extended dining without the need for cushions. However, if you prefer a plusher feel or a specific color accent, we offer custom-tailored outdoor dining cushions sold separately that are designed specifically to fit the Whistler collection.
Absolutely. The armless design was specifically engineered to tuck completely under the apron of the Whistler Dining Table (and most standard outdoor tables). This protects the seat from the elements when not in use and keeps your patio walkway clear.
Because they lack the bulk of armrests, the Whistler Armless Chair is our most space-efficient seating option. You can typically fit 3-4 chairs comfortably along the side of an 8-foot table, allowing for greater capacity compared to the armchair version.
