The Noel Chair Series by Kasper Thorup brings together Danish designer dining chairs, chairs with armrests, bar chairs, counter chairs and lounge chairs. Sculptural steel frames and hand-woven linen or wool flag halyard define the collection, combining an open silhouette with tactile depth and enduring character.
EU Ecolabel certified and selected for interiors including Oslo Opera House and Restaurant Paz, Noel is a signature piece in the Thorup Copenhagen furniture collection. Its distinctive design carries across different seating heights and settings, creating a coherent expression throughout private homes, restaurants and hospitality spaces.
Danish designer chairs for dining, living and hospitality
Noel dining chairs and chairs with armrests
The Noel Chair is the original design of the series. Its gently sloped frame, curved legs and reclined backrest balance precise steel construction with a hand-woven seat and back. Choose Noel dining chairs for everyday dining, or Noel chairs with armrests for additional support. Combine the two around a table or select one model throughout.
Noel bar and counter chairs
Noel bar and counter chairs bring the collection’s distinctive silhouette to kitchen islands, breakfast counters and restaurant bars. Both versions feature a woven seat and backrest, with a seat height of 67 cm for the counter chair and 77 cm for the bar chair.
Noel Lounge Chair
The Noel Lounge Chair translates the series into a generous, relaxed form. A tubular steel base, broad reclined backrest and oversized woven seat create a place to pause in a living room, reading corner or hotel lounge.
Noel chairs at Oslo Opera House and Restaurant Paz
Oslo Opera House — seating for Brasserie Opera and the café
At Oslo Opera House, Noel chairs form part of the interiors of Brasserie Opera and the café. Dining, bar and counter chairs in steel and Faroese wool bring a consistent material expression across the spaces, connecting everyday seating with the architectural setting.
Restaurant Paz — Danish furniture in the Faroe Islands
At Restaurant Paz in the Faroe Islands, Noel chairs with armrests sit alongside Mio solid oak tables and Patrone lighting. The setting brings together steel, woven flag halyard, oak and brass, showing how the collections work together in a restaurant interior.
EU Ecolabel certified chair series
The Noel Chair Series is EU Ecolabel certified across its dining, armrest, bar, counter and lounge models. The certification provides a clear environmental credential alongside the collection’s focus on material quality and lasting use.
Steel frames and hand-woven flag halyard
Brushed stainless steel or black powder-coated steel
Choose brushed stainless steel for a subtle surface that catches the light, or semi-matt black powder-coated steel for a more pronounced silhouette. Available across the series, both finishes complement the woven upholstery and allow Noel chairs to create a consistent expression from room to room.
Linen or Faroese wool flag halyard upholstery
The seat and backrest are hand-woven in flag halyard with a nylon core and an outer covering of natural flax fibre or pure Faroese sheep wool. The visible weave brings texture and warmth to the steel frame. Discover the Noel Wool Edition to explore the natural tones of Faroese wool.
Complete your Noel seating with seat pads and oak tables
Fitted leather seat pads
Add comfort with Noel seat pads in semi-aniline leather and linen. Available in four colours for selected Noel models, the pads add cushioning while protecting the woven flag halyard.
Mio solid oak dining tables
Pair Noel chairs with round or rectangular Mio dining tables, also designed by Kasper Thorup. The tables’ exposed joinery and steel details complement Noel’s sculptural frames, while solid oak adds warmth to the dining setting.
