Fritz Hansen Ballare Chair

Yes, the chair is crafted from teak, a wood naturally rich in oils that make it highly resistant to weather, rot, and insects. While it handles the elements well, the wood will naturally develop a silvery-grey patina over time if left exposed to direct sunlight and rain.

The Ballare chair is designed for efficient storage and can be stacked safely. While the exact limit depends on your storage space, the frame is engineered to maintain stability when stacked in small groups.

Teak is low-maintenance, but you can occasionally clean it with mild soap and water to remove surface dirt. If you prefer to maintain the original honey-brown color rather than letting it patina, you may apply a teak-specific oil periodically.

Yes, Fritz Hansen prioritizes ethical production, and approximately 71% of the wood used in the Ballare chair is FSC-certified. This ensures the material is sourced from forests managed with strict environmental and social standards.

The seat features an elegantly curved design intended to provide an embracing, ergonomic fit. While it is made of solid wood, the contouring is specifically shaped to support the body during extended periods of sitting.
