Slab Upholstered Side Chair

When Tom Dixon decided to design a dining chair that sat comfortably with the Slab range, they wanted something humble but with personality, modern yet looking like it had always existed, familiar yet unique - and on top of that stacking and comfortable! So, it took them a long time, as that turned out to be a particularly challenging brief. But they think they have cracked it with this chair that can sit proudly in many environments - an honest piece of skilled woodwork.

Inspired by the stance and general demeanor of a bull; its haunchy aspect and muscular poise were translated into a chair and table set. Each piece has generous proportions, solid materiality and is softened with a gently radius edge.
