Vintage Seating
We Have a Wide Range of Vintage Seating Options Available
We have a weakness for vintage dining chairs and that has now extended into general vintage seating, from armchairs, through to benches and stools. Vintage seating can be used practically for relaxed seating, or we love it used as a room accent, or a statement piece. The other fun thing about general seating is it can be used so creatively to bring people together socially, whether that be armchairs in a living room or just a few stools dotted around a kitchen.
The majority of our seating is sourced from iconic 20th– Century European makers. To us the history and provenance behind our pieces is fundamental to understanding and appreciating their heritage. We love to research the history and do our best to share that with you.
We are passionate about rescuing these beautiful pieces of furniture and sympathetically restoring them so they can live a second life, we don’t shout about the environmental benefit but it’s a bi product we are proud of and more often than not the quality of manufacture is better than it is today.

Seating from Iconic Makers
We are champions of the forgotten 20th-century makers of vintage seating and usually carry stock from some of the iconic makers such as Mullca, Thonet, Mucke Melder to name a few. But seating is a broad category so we have recently divided it up to make it easier to shop.
Armchairs
A statement armchair can really make the difference, nestled into the corner of most rooms they sit there with presence and attitude, inviting you to relax. We usually stock a good range of armchairs both upholstered and without. We scour Europe for the best examples and some of our favourite makers.
Benches
Not easy to source but we love finding a good bench. Benches are great in a hallway as a welcoming place to stop or they can be great around a long table instead of chairs, you can squeeze more friends in and it can be so much more convivial.
Swivel chairs
In the last few years a good ‘industrial’ swivel chair has gained an almost cult like status. The heyday of the swivel chair was in the 1930’s when the modern office emerged, and practical chairs were needed for a new way of working. Some of the famous makers were Giroflex, Bombenstabil, Tan Sad amongst so many others.
As champion of the forgotten maker our chairs come with a history and provenance and many of the makers have rich stories of their industrial past.
