There is something quietly extraordinary about a chair that has inspired generations of designers and homeowners alike. The Yewthorn Dining Chair draws on the legacy of one of furniture design's most celebrated silhouettes — a form so considered, so naturally balanced, that it feels at home in almost any interior. Crafted from solid beech wood timber and finished with natural cord caning, the Yewthorn brings warmth, texture, and a sense of enduring craftsmanship to your dining space. It is the kind of chair you pull out for guests and never want to put away.
Key Features:
The woven cord seat of the Yewthorn is more than a design detail — it is a tactile experience. Natural cord caning has been used in fine furniture for centuries, prized for its flexibility, breathability, and the way it softens and settles beautifully with use. Each strand speaks to a slower, more considered way of making things — and in a dining chair, that translates to a seat that feels as good as it looks.
Beech is one of the great furniture timbers — dense, fine-grained, and exceptionally resilient. The Yewthorn's solid beech frame is chosen not just for its strength but for its natural warmth and ability to take on a beautiful patina over time. This is a chair built with longevity in mind, one that rewards daily use rather than resisting it.
The distinctive Y-shaped back splat — inspired by the elegance of Ming dynasty chairs and immortalised by Hans Wegner's celebrated Wishbone design — gives the Yewthorn its unmistakable character. It is a shape that achieves the rare feat of feeling both architectural and inviting, a conversation piece that never needs to raise its voice.
The Yewthorn arrives fully assembled, which means there is no deciphering instructions or hunting for a hex key — simply place it at your table and begin enjoying it immediately. It is a small but meaningful detail that speaks to how this chair is designed: with the everyday in mind.
With a seat height of 43cm and a compact footprint, the Yewthorn is designed to complement standard dining tables without overwhelming the space around them. Its considered proportions mean it tucks neatly away when not in use and draws the eye when it is — a balance that any well-designed dining chair should strike.
Great design endures because it solves problems beautifully. The lineage behind the Yewthorn — tracing back through Scandinavian modernism to the crafted chairs of Ming dynasty China — represents centuries of refinement in how human beings sit, gather, and share meals together. Bringing that heritage into your home is not nostalgia; it is simply good taste.
