Name: Ori High Back Chair
Brand: Wendelbo

Defined by a subtle opening between seat and back, Ori introduces a folded detail that brings both lightness and character. Carefully shaped upholstery with refined stitching creates a composed and supportive seat, while a range of base options ensures versatility across settings.

Named after the Japanese word ori, meaning fold, the Ori Chair by Patrick Norguet is characterised by a subtle opening between the padded seat and back – a folded detail that introduces both lightness and identity while forming the basis of a versatile chair series that unfolds across multiple typologies.

Available with both low and high backrests, and with or without armrests, Ori offers a versatile seating solution suited to a wide range of settings. A selection of metal, wooden and swivel bases allows the chair to adapt naturally across meeting and conference environments, dining areas and collaborative spaces.
