The Kentucky Mule Dining Chair brings mid-century warmth back to the dining table. A solid walnut-toned frame with softly tapered legs and gently rounded armrests supports a two-material seat: a tufted, camel-toned faux leather backrest paired with a plush cream bouclé cushion underneath. The contrast between the two textures — smooth against nubby, warm brown against soft cream — gives the chair a layered, collected look rather than a matched-set one.
The frame's joinery takes cues from classic Scandinavian and American mid-century design: exposed wood, visible dowel joints, and a slightly splayed leg stance that keeps the chair feeling light on its feet even with its substantial seat. Two decorative buttons anchor the leather backrest, echoing the tufting on the cushion below without overdoing it.
Because the frame and upholstery are both neutral in tone, this chair reads equally well pulled up to a live-edge wood table, a marble-topped table, or mixed in around a glass dining table for contrast. It's built as a single dining chair, so it mixes and multiplies easily — order as many as your table calls for.
Named for the classic bourbon and ginger beer highball, the Kentucky Mule carries the same easy, unfussy character — a dining chair meant to be lived in daily, not just admired. Currently available to preorder; production begins once your order is placed.
