The Linde chair and table by OUT bring sculptural forms and upholstered detailing to contemporary dining spaces. Designed in Berlin and manufactured in Germany, the collection pairs rounded silhouettes with functional craftsmanship inspired by residential interiors. The Linde chair is designed to deliver the comfort of an armchair at the dining table, with interchangeable components that can be replaced over time to extend its lifespan. Available with multiple base options, it is offered in both a smooth upholstered finish and the softer, draped Linde Soft variation.
The coordinating Linde table features a solid ash wood tabletop supported by a thick cylindrical base wrapped in upholstery that also functions as an acoustic element. Upholstered surfaces are finished with seams recessed into precision-milled channels, drawing on techniques commonly used in luxury automotive interiors to create a refined, seamless appearance.
