the inspiration

 
 

The Ethnicraft Bok collection's signature design is reminiscent of a goat's slim legs and curved horns. In these eye-catching pieces, designer Alain van Havre combines sculptural elegance and contemporary craftsmanship into a graceful and airy form. 

 
 
 

 

 
 

Seating - dining chairs

 
 

Thoughtfully
crafted with comfort
and style in mind.

 

First launched in 2016 after several years of design, development, a few missteps and important technological innovations, the Bok chair rapidly became Ethnicraft’s most iconic piece. Made of solid wood, the elegant dining chair is thoughtfully crafted with comfort and style in mind. The Bok dining chair is available in varnished or oiled oak, brown-tainted and varnished oak, black-tainted and varnished oak and natural teak. The oak variations of the Bok dining chair are available with an upholstered cushion in fabric or leather. With many options to choose from, this dining chair can fit into any décor style with ease.  

 
 

 

 
 

seating - benches

 
 

 

 

The Bok bench is a versatile piece in the Ethnicraft Bok collection, featuring curved detailing at the corners that match the Bok dining table. Available in varnished oak, brown-tainted oak, black-tainted oak and teak, this item is as functional as it is beautiful. The bench pairs naturally with the Bok dining table, providing casual seating for a gathering, but also as a stand-alone against a wall, in a hallway or at the end of a bed. It is easily styled on its own with throw blankets and cushions or with a functional tray to hold essentials such as keys, coins or mail.

Dining tables

 
   
 

Just like its matching seating, the Bok dining table has become one of our signature designs. Its airy shape yet rock solid construction make this piece a timeless and remarkable design to enjoy for years to come. Available in oiled oak, brown-tainted and varnished oak, black-tainted and varnished oak and natural teak, the Bok dining table is an ideal gathering place for families and friends to share a meal and enjoy time together. The Bok can accommodate any dining room, as it comes in extendable and round versions as well as the original size.

outdoor collection

 
   

The beauty of the Ethnicraft Bok collection can also be enjoyed in a garden or terrace setting. Perfect for whiling away the hours in the open air, the design of the dining table and seat of the chair have been adapted with a slatted top in solid teak, making the collection safe to house outside. The outdoor Bok collection is available in teak or a black-tainted and varnished teak, adding a bold statement to casual dining. Seat cushions are available for maximum comfort, making outdoor living a simple pleasure.
