At the heart of every home is a dining table, a place for long lunches, lively conversation and evenings that linger long after the last course. It is where stories are shared, friendships flourish and, occasionally, someone reaches for the last roast potato! The chairs around it should be every bit as inviting as the company they keep. From clever design details to contrasting fabrics and decorative finishing touches, a dining chair can bring comfort, practicality and personality to a room.
Designed with everyday life in mind, each chair from our studio has its own distinctive qualities, with thoughtful features that make gathering around the table a pleasure. Here are a few favourite designs, each with a story of its own.
The Handle Chair brings form and function together through its distinctive wooden handle. Integrated into the design, the handle provides a practical way to pull the chair away from the table while helping to protect the upholstered fabric from everyday handling. An architectural detail in its own right, it gives the chair a distinctive finish that is as useful as it is elegant.
The Susan Chair offers a softer interpretation, with a leather handle that introduces a tactile detail while serving the same practical purpose. These thoughtful additions make the chairs easy to use day after day, helping to preserve the beauty of their upholstery while adding to their individual design.
The Clemmie Chair offers plenty of scope for personal expression. Combining two fabrics across the seat and back creates opportunities to bring together colour, pattern and texture, while appliqué details can highlight a favourite motif or introduce an unexpected finishing touch. Each combination creates a different look, allowing the chairs to complement the wider dining scheme or stand out in their own right.
For a more understated look, the Whitby Chair takes inspiration from traditional Gustavian design. Its gentle curved back and clean lines create an elegant silhouette that sits comfortably in both traditional and contemporary interiors. Double piping defines the shape of the chair, introducing a contrasting detail that adds interest while complementing its graceful form.
Each design offers a different way to bring personality to the dining room. From distinctive handles and carefully chosen motifs to contrasting piping and fabric combinations, it is often the smallest details that make a space feel personal. With a variety of fabrics, finishes and forms to choose from, each chair can be tailored to suit its surroundings.
The result is a dining space that brings together comfort, craftsmanship and individual style, creating a welcoming setting for everything from everyday meals to memorable occasions.
