Wycombe Dining Chair
Part of our Wycombe collectionView in store
Wycombe’s design story
From ladder-backed and practical Shaker chairs to the rush-seated designs of the Arts & Crafts movement (and Morris & Co.’s famous Sussex chair), Wycombe has quite a tale to tell. You can read all about it over on our journal.
Meet the family
As well as this dining chair, there’s also a bench, a stool and a folding dining chair in our Wycombe collection, making it one of our most versatile designs. We think it’s particularly perfect for pairing with an extending dining table, whether you choose to use the stools or the folding chairs as extra seats.
Considered comfort
Wycombe might have a very neat and upright profile, but the stretcher – the horizontal piece at the top of the backrest – is curved, which means it hugs comfortably around your shoulders. And, as well as adding texture, the woven seat is also slightly springy – ideal if you find wooden seats just a little too firm.
The materials: oak
Oak’s sense of tradition together with its distinctive (but not too knotty) grain make it our go-to timber. Naturally durable when it comes to knocks, we’ve further protected the oak from spills with IsoGuard® – our oil-based formula that doesn’t mask the timber’s character. You can find out more about that here.
The materials: woven paper cord
Traditionally, rush is the material of choice for woven seats like the ones in our Wycombe collection. But, for ours, we’ve chosen to use a cord material made from wood pulp paper. Paler and more uniform in colour than rush, this paper cord complements Wycombe’s light oak and clean lines (it was also favoured by mid-century designers such as Hans J Wegner for his Wishbone chair, and so is often known as Danish cord). It’s just as strong and durable as natural rush, and we’ve coated it in wax that makes it spill resistant – don’t worry, this won’t come off on clothes.
