Selja | Studio Backrest Dining Chair
$249.95
A pause between past and present—formality softened by texture.
The Selja Chair is a curated collision of classical posture and contemporary line. Its rounded backrest recalls 19th-century silhouettes, while the vertical spine and asymmetrical leg structure introduce tension and modernity. Wrapped in olive-toned corduroy, the upholstered seat and backrest create a quiet depth—matte, tactile, and inviting.
Selja feels at home in layered dining spaces, quietly confident in its asymmetry. It’s a chair that balances function and narrative—familiar in shape, yet entirely of this moment.
Sculpted round backrest with inset upholstery for tonal contrast
Solid wood construction with mixed-leg geometry
Upholstered in fine-ribbed corduroy for softness and warmth
Designed to stack discreetly when not in use
Ideal for expressive dining settings or gallery-style spaces
Balances heritage cues with design-forward restraint

Designer Notes
Selja stood out in our curation process for its willingness to take risks with proportion and symmetry. The traditional frame is subtly disrupted by a vertical back beam and staggered legs, which read more like architectural gestures than furniture joinery. We love this piece in bold dining rooms—spaces where sculptural furniture is not just permitted, but expected. The corduroy adds a softened presence, toning down the formality and grounding it in texture.

"Blown Away"
S. Patel, Austin, TX
I was blown away by the craftsmanship of my new pendant light. The materials feel premium, and the design is simply stunning. Installation was a breeze, and it instantly elevated my dining space. Guild Manor truly delivers on both style and quality!
"Incredible Value"
L. Evans, Chicago, IL
I’ve always wanted designer lighting, but most were out of my budget—until I found Guild Manor. The chandelier I purchased looks like it came straight from a high-end showroom, but at a fraction of the price. Incredible value for such a beautifully curated piece!

From the moment I placed my order, Guild Manor’s team made sure everything was a seamless experience. Shipping was quick, and the quality exceeded my expectations. The handcrafted details on my brass pendant light are truly exquisite!
