Dining Chair
The Kensington is a pairing that has earned its place in British interiors over decades: teak and rattan, each material honest about what it does. The solid teak frame provides the structural foundation — dense, naturally moisture-resistant, and resistant to the seasonal movement that compromises lighter timber over time. The water-based varnish is smooth to the touch and requires little to maintain. The seat and back are woven from natural rattan — a material that breathes, flexes slightly under weight, and develops a warmth over time that synthetic alternatives cannot replicate. The curved backrest follows an ergonomic profile, providing lumbar support that a flat woven surface alone cannot. At 43 cm seat height and 55 cm seat depth, the Kensington has the proportions of a proper dining chair — one that works at a table, on a terrace, or as a single considered piece in a room that needs anchoring.
Teak is a tropical hardwood known for its natural oil content — resistant to moisture, rot, and seasonal movement without regular treatment. The Kensington frame is finished with a water-based varnish: a smooth, burr-free surface that wipes clean and is kind to unvarnished hands. Joints between parts are tightened for enhanced structural integrity.
Both the seat surface and the backrest are woven from natural rattan — worked directly into the frame as a continuous surface, not applied over a board. Natural rattan breathes in a way that upholstered or synthetic surfaces cannot, making the Kensington as suited to a warm conservatory as to an outdoor terrace on a summer evening.
The backrest follows a gentle ergonomic curve shaped to follow the natural line of the spine rather than holding the sitter upright. For a dining chair, this is a significant comfort detail — the Kensington supports extended meals and long evenings at the table as confidently as it handles a single hour.
