Faux Leather Dining Chairs: Why the Orego Is Our Best Seller

Quick answer: Faux leather dining chairs are one of the most practical ways to furnish a Japandi dining room: they wipe clean, keep their tailored shape and come in calm, warm colours. Our best-selling Orego Chair pairs faux leather upholstery with an ash wood frame and refined angles, and comes in brown, white or black, singly or in sets of 2 or 4.

Key takeaways

• Faux leather is easy to wipe clean and suits busy family dining rooms.
• A solid wood frame, such as ash or oak, gives the warmth that makes a chair feel Japandi.
• Buying in sets of 2 or 4 keeps a dining room consistent and calm.
• Choose colour to match your table: brown and black with walnut, white or light tones with pale oak.
• If you prefer a natural material, real leather on solid oak (the Miran) is the alternative.

Why is the Orego Chair our best seller?

Because it does what a dining chair should: it looks refined, feels supportive and is easy to live with.

The Orego Chair combines a sleek ash wood frame with faux leather upholstery. Its refined angles give it a crisp, architectural outline, and its ergonomic shape is made for comfort through long dinners or a full working day, which is why it works at a desk as well as at the table. It stands 78 cm tall and 60 cm wide, and comes in brown, white or black.

It also comes singly or in sets of 2 or 4, so you can furnish a whole table in one go, or add a single chair to a desk or reading corner.

Can the Orego work as a desk chair?

Yes. Its ergonomic shape is made for comfortable, supportive seating through a full working day.

Many people now eat and work at the same table, so a chair that does both earns its place. The Orego's upright, supportive back suits a desk or a home office, and its faux leather is easy to keep clean around coffee cups. A single Orego at a writing desk, in the same colour as the chairs around your dining table, ties the two spaces together.

Are faux leather dining chairs worth it?

For most homes, yes: they are practical, comfortable and keep their looks.

	Faux leather	Fabric (linen, cotton, velvet)	Real leather
Cleaning	Wipes clean easily	Needs more care with spills	Wipe and condition occasionally
Feel	Smooth and tailored	Soft and warm	Supple, softens with age
Colours	Wide range	Wide range	Natural tones
Best for	Family dining, everyday use	Cosy, textured rooms	A natural material that ages beautifully

Faux leather's biggest advantage at the table is that spills sit on the surface and wipe away. That makes it a natural fit for homes with children, frequent guests or a dining table that doubles as a workspace.

How does the Orego compare with our other dining chairs?

Choose by material, colour range and how many chairs you need.

Chair	Upholstery	Frame	Colours	Sets
Orego Chair	Faux leather	Ash wood	Brown, white, black	1, 2 or 4
Toshiro Chair	Faux leather	Wooden frame, ash wood legs	Seven colours, more on request	1, 2 or 4
Yubi Chair	Faux leather, stain-resistant	Pine wood	As shown on the product page	1, 2 or 4
Miran Chair	Real leather seat and back	Solid oak	Walnut, dark, brown, natural, cream	1 or 2
Risa Chair	Cotton and linen	Ash wood, oak or dark oak legs	Beige, dark green	1, 2 or 4
Izumi Chair	Velvet	Ash wood or oak legs	Six shades	1 or 2

If you love the Orego's tailored look but want more colour, the Toshiro comes in seven shades, from dark green to burgundy. For a slimmer, lighter silhouette with a gently curved backrest, the Yubi is easy to wipe clean and pairs well with the Shoko Dining Table. If real leather matters to you, the Miran has a leather seat and backrest on a solid oak frame.

Which colour should you choose?

Match the chair to your table and floor, then use colour to set the mood.

• Brown brings warmth and sits beautifully with walnut and mid-tone wood.
• Black adds definition and a modern edge, especially against a pale oak table or white walls.
• White keeps a small dining room light and airy, and suits Scandinavian-leaning spaces.

In a Japandi room, keep the palette calm: one chair colour around the table, wood tones that echo each other, and texture from a rug or a woven pendant above. Our Japandi dining room ideas show how to pull the table, chairs, light and rug together.

How many dining chairs do you need?

Allow about 60 cm of table edge per person, then buy chairs in matching sets.

A table around 120 cm long seats four comfortably; 160 to 180 cm suits six. Buying in sets of 2 or 4 keeps every place at the table identical, which is what makes a dining room feel calm and finished. You can also mix: four Orego chairs along the sides with two contrasting chairs at the ends gives a relaxed, collected look.

How do you care for faux leather chairs?

Gentle, regular wiping is all they need.

• Wipe spills straight away with a soft, damp cloth.
• For a deeper clean, use a little mild soap in water, then dry with a clean cloth.
• Avoid harsh cleaners, solvents and abrasive sponges.
• Keep chairs out of strong direct sunlight and away from radiators to protect the colour and surface.

Frequently asked questions

Are faux leather dining chairs good?

Yes, for most homes. Faux leather is easy to wipe clean, resists everyday spills better than fabric, and keeps a smooth, tailored look, which makes it a practical choice for family dining rooms.

What is the difference between leather and faux leather chairs?

Real leather is a natural hide that softens and develops a patina over time. Faux leather is a man-made material that looks similar, is easier to clean and comes in a wider range of colours. The Miran Chair uses real leather on solid oak; the Orego, Toshiro and Yubi use faux leather.

How do you clean faux leather dining chairs?

Wipe them with a soft, damp cloth and a little mild soap, then dry with a clean cloth. Avoid harsh cleaners, solvents and scrubbing, and keep the chairs out of strong direct sunlight to protect the colour.

Can I buy the Orego Chair as a set?

Yes. The Orego Chair comes singly or in sets of 2 or 4, in brown, white or black. The Toshiro and Yubi chairs also come singly or in sets of 2 or 4.

Do the chairs need assembling?

The Toshiro Chair arrives with the bases detached from the legs; you screw the legs into the pre-drilled holes, which is quick and easy. Each product page explains what to expect.

Are Nisu Home chairs made to order?

Yes. Every piece is made to order, so timing depends on the piece; its product page shows the current estimate, and you can email hello@nisuhome.com to confirm it before you buy. Before anything ships, we send you photos and videos of the finished piece, and we only ship once you are happy with it.
