Some furniture makes you want to sit down immediately. The Mode armchair is exactly that. Not because of bold aesthetics or provocative design, but because of something harder to articulate - the right proportions, quality materials and an appearance that genuinely promises comfort.
We put together this detailed review so you know exactly what you are getting when you order Mode.
Concept and Design: Modern Minimalism with Warmth
Mode is a chair that balances between two poles: contemporary minimalism and the natural warmth of real wood. A solid oak frame with soft upholstery - a classic combination that has never gone out of fashion.
The chair's design reads cleanly: no unnecessary details, no decorative carving or complex forms. But it is not a "boring box" either - the shape of the backrest, the recline angle and the seat proportions create a distinctive silhouette.
Mode feels equally at home in a living room, a home office, a hotel room or a modern restaurant.
Frame Construction: Why Solid Oak is the Right Choice
The Mode frame is made from solid oak using traditional joinery - mortise and tenon, wooden dowels, quality adhesive. No metal brackets or screws in the load-bearing connections.
This is not an aesthetic decision - it is a functional one. Mortise-and-tenon joints in solid wood withstand cyclic loading (sitting down and standing up) 3-5 times better than metal fixings in chipboard. After 10 years of active use, Mode will be just as sturdy as the day it arrived.
Legs: solid oak in natural or tinted finish. Colour options: natural (warm golden), dark walnut (chocolate tone), anthracite (stained). Leg height affects seat height - please specify when ordering.
Filling and Upholstery: Where Comfort Lives
The seat and backrest of Mode have a foam filling with a density of 30-35 kg/m³. This is the right density for an armchair: soft enough to be comfortable, firm enough not to "sink through" and to retain its shape for years.
Upholstery - client's choice from MebWood's broad fabric catalogue:
Bouclé weave (structured fabric, abrasion-resistant, natural look)
Velvet (soft to the touch, refined appearance, requires careful cleaning)
Microfibre (most resistant to stains and wear, recommended for families with children)
Faux leather (easy to wipe clean, modern look, great for offices or restaurants)
You can also supply your own fabric if you have a specific material that fits your interior perfectly.
Ergonomics: Comfort by the Numbers
Seat height: 46 cm from the floor - the standard for comfortable sitting and rising for people of average height. Adjustment available on request.
Seat depth: 48 cm - sufficient thigh support without pressure behind the knees.
Backrest angle: 100° - gently reclined for natural lumbar support.
Seat width: 52 cm - comfortable for most body types.
Maximum load: 120 kg.

Who It Is For and Where It Fits
Mode is ideally suited to:
Living rooms - as a statement chair or a pair alongside a sofa
Home offices - comfortable for reading and working at a lower desk
Bedrooms - a reading chair beside a bed or a dressing table
Reception areas and lobbies - a modern look with a long service life
Restaurants and cafes - especially paired with oak tables from the same collection
We do not recommend Mode for active play areas or high-traffic locations such as airports or train stations - more hardwearing options without upholstery are better suited to those environments.
Ordering and Personalisation
Mode is made to order only. Lead time: 14-21 working days. You choose: leg colour, upholstery type and colour, leg height (adjustment ±5 cm). To see fabric samples and feel the quality in person, visit the MebWood showroom in Lutsk at 32A Heriv Ryatuvalnikiv Street. Free consultation available.
Mode - a chair you will want to sit in every single day. And that is exactly what it is waiting for.
