Dining chairs you'll still want to sit in after dessert.

A bad dining chair makes a great meal end early. We shape seat pans by hand so your hips sit where they want to, and steam-bend backrests so your lumbar gets the curve it asked for.

The range

Seven base shapes. Three optional seat finishes.

The range covers everything from straight-back side chairs for formal dining rooms to softer captain's chairs with arms. Two of the seven are stackable, which makes them popular with cafe and private dining-room clients.

Seats can be left bare, padded with a slim 30 mm foam-on-fabric cushion, or fully upholstered. Cane infill panels are available on three of the shapes.

Frame timber: White oak, walnut, chengal
Backrest: Steam-bent, laminated 4-ply
Seat finish: Bare / cushion / upholstered / caned
Lead time: 6 weeks for a set of four
