OKA's curved back contrasts nicely with the square seat and legs—there's a subtle tension there that keeps it from feeling too formal. The hemp linen has a relaxed, lived-in quality, while the red-and-white ikat trim adds just enough detail without tipping into fussy territory. This works well in dining rooms that lean traditional but want to avoid the matching-set look—mix it with a rustic wood table or pair with other chair styles. The linen will show marks more readily than darker fabrics, so worth considering if you have young children.
