Happy Friday everyone, hope you are all staying dry in this wet weather!

We all want to have a beautiful dining table and chairs, yet sometimes it can be really difficult finding chairs at the right price point. If you are looking at seating 8 or even 12 people, it can easily escalate to thousands of dollars.

The chairs above are my best pick of 5 beautiful dining chairs under $500 (AUD) , all well designed, comes in many variations of simple colour schemes suitable to Scandinavian and contemporary interiors alike.

Which is your favourite?

01/ Chair 170 by Takahashi Asako - Feelgood Design. $420. This chair, designed by Takahashi Asako, perfectly blend the aesthetics of Japanese simplicity and craftsmanship with Scandinavian mid-century design. Made from American Oak and available in clear or black stain, this is one piece of great looking chair.

02/Oslo folding chair by BoConcept. $199. Black leather look/oak frame. Perfect for small apartments or smart extra chairs that can easily store away.

03/ NoB9 Le Cobusier by Thonet. From $473. This classic chair, used extensively by Le Corbusier in the 1920's, still feels super relevant today. With a choice between stains, soap washes and paints with cute sock details, this is one chair that never disappoint.

04/ Stol by Thonet. From $388. Another timeless classic, perhaps the most Scandinavian looking of them all. The linear design look great in a painted finish and suit both contemporary and relaxed country style living.
