Elegant in its simplicity and beautifully considered in its construction, our Wooden Cross Back Dining Chair with Rattan Seat combines natural materials with traditional craftsmanship to create a chair with an enduring, timeless quality.
Inspired by the classic European bentwood café chair, its elegant cross-back silhouette and woven rattan seat recall the traditional bistro chairs found in cafés and dining rooms across Europe. Light and graceful in proportion, it is a design with a wonderful sense of history, reinterpreted for contemporary living.
Handcrafted from solid teak, the chair combines traditional steam-bent wood, turned legs and graceful cross-back supports with a gently curved top rail that follows and cocoons the back. The natural rattan seat is woven by hand, bringing texture and lightness to the warm timber frame.
Traditional construction details and visible fixings are deliberately celebrated rather than disguised. It is this combination of honest craftsmanship, natural materials and historic design influences that gives the chair its quiet sense of quality – equally beautiful around a reclaimed farmhouse table, within a contemporary kitchen or as part of a more refined dining room.

A Design with History
The bentwood chair has long been associated with the cafés and bistros of Europe, where lightweight, beautifully constructed wooden chairs became a familiar part of everyday dining. Their appeal lay in a combination of practicality and elegance – graceful curves, uncomplicated construction and an ability to sit comfortably within almost any setting.
Our interpretation draws upon this tradition through its steam-bent timber, cross-back construction and natural woven seat, while the use of solid teak gives the chair a warmth and substance of its own.
It is a style that feels familiar without being tied to a particular trend – one of the reasons these classic European-inspired chairs continue to work so beautifully in interiors today.
Traditional Craftsmanship
There is a quiet beauty to furniture where the way something has been made forms part of its design.
Steam bending creates the chair's distinctive curves, from the gently shaped top rail to the elegant supports beneath the seat, while the crossed back provides both structure and visual lightness. Turned legs soften the silhouette further, complemented by the intricate hand-woven rattan seat.
Look more closely and the craftsmanship becomes particularly apparent: the grain of the solid teak, subtle variations within the timber, woven natural fibres and visible construction details all contribute to the chair's character.
Made for the Dining Table
With a 46cm seat height, the chair has classic dining proportions, while the curved top rail follows the body to create a more supportive, cocooning feel.
Its versatility is one of its strengths. Pair it with a reclaimed timber table for a relaxed, collected interior, or introduce it alongside a more contemporary dining table where the natural teak, woven rattan and graceful curves provide warmth and contrast.
Natural Materials
Solid teak and natural rattan will display subtle variations in grain, tone and texture. These are inherent characteristics of natural materials and contribute to the individuality of each handcrafted chair.
As the rattan seats are woven by hand, subtle variations within the weave are also to be expected and celebrated as part of the making process.
Care
For everyday care, gently dust the timber and rattan with a soft, dry cloth. The wooden frame can be wiped with a lightly damp cloth when required and dried afterwards.
Avoid abrasive or chemical cleaning products and prolonged exposure to moisture. The natural woven rattan seat should not be saturated with water.
