Table of Contents
The Allure of Mid-Century Modern Design
Ah, mid-century modern — that magic blend of functionality, minimalism, and timeless cool. It’s no wonder we keep circling back to this design era. The clean lines, the organic materials, and the refusal to compromise between comfort and aesthetics — it all just works. And if you're like us, you're always on the hunt for that next piece that quietly elevates your space without screaming for attention. Enter the Modern Low-Back Side Chair by Vintara Design.
Meet the Designer: Lakiq’s Minimalist Vision
At the heart of this piece lies a minimalist muse: Lakiq, whose original concept Vintara has faithfully reimagined. Think subtle angles, disciplined design, and an ethos of “less but better.” Lakiq’s design avoids frills and fuss. It’s a celebration of what wood can do when it’s shaped with restraint and purpose.
Introducing Vintara’s Modern Low-Back Side Chair
Let’s talk about the chair itself. The Modern Low-Back Side Chair is not your average seat. It’s a sculptural piece that doubles as a functional workhorse — a dining chair today, an accent chair tomorrow.
With no upholstery, it exudes purity. With its sturdy, solid beech wood frame, it whispers longevity. With its low-back, armless form, it promises comfort and flexibility.
Dimensions That Work for Real Life
Here’s what you’re getting:
-
Height: 75 cm (29.5 in)
-
Width: 40 cm (16 in)
-
Depth: 39 cm (15 in)
-
Seat Height: 45 cm (18 in)
-

Compact enough for tighter spaces. Tall enough for posture. Light enough to move around. In other words, just right.
Solid Beech Wood: Built to Last
Beech wood is no trend — it’s a timeless titan. Known for its durability, fine grain, and warm undertone, it offers the kind of quality that doesn’t quit.
Here’s why we love it:
-
Sustainable and renewable
-
Withstands daily wear and tear
-
Takes stains and finishes like a dream
Unupholstered Brilliance: Simplicity in Form
Some might ask: “No cushion?” But here’s the deal — the non-upholstered design is a nod to classic craftsmanship. It means:
-
Easy cleaning
-
No fraying or fabric sag
-
A streamlined, architectural aesthetic
Add your own seat pad or leave it bare — it’s adaptable.
Armless, Open-Back Style: Freedom in Design
Why go armless?
-
Uncluttered silhouette
-
Easy slide-under for desks or tables
-
Ideal for tight corners or smaller rooms
Plus, the open-back structure gives visual breathing room. It’s airier, lighter, and simply more elegant.
Finish Options: Black or Brown?
Ah, the age-old question: dark and moody or warm and woody?
You get to choose:
-
Black Finish – Sleek, contemporary, dramatic
-
Brown Finish – Organic, cozy, timeless
And the cherry on top? Vintara lets you customize your finish. Want a rich walnut tone or natural oak vibes? Just ask.
