Some chairs work hard to be noticed. The Bantham simply belongs. Its woven back brings a soft, handmade rhythm to the dining room, while the cushioned seat keeps long lunches and lingering conversations comfortable. It is the kind of piece that settles into a home rather than announcing itself, quietly earning its place at the table.
The rope-woven back panel is set into a frame of pale, limewashed rubberwood, its open basket weave catching the light and casting the gentlest shadow. Beneath it, a generously padded seat in a natural bouclé-weave upholstery offers a relaxed, tactile contrast to the structure above. Slightly splayed rear legs give the Bantham an easy, grounded stance.
Woven by hand, made for the way you really live around a table.
What sets it apart
- A chunky, hand-woven rope back in a natural sand tone, bringing coastal texture without the fuss of true rattan upkeep.
- A deep, cushioned seat upholstered in a soft cream bouclé, built for comfort through long, unhurried meals.
- A pale limewashed rubberwood frame with subtly splayed back legs, light in tone and quietly architectural.
- An adaptable, textural design that sits as easily in a coastal kitchen as it does a modern country dining room.
A study in quiet texture
There is a particular ease to a room built around natural materials. The Bantham's woven back panel introduces a handmade quality that feels collected rather than bought, while the light timber and cream seat keep the overall effect calm and pared back. Paired with a round oak table and layered over an antique-style rug, it creates the kind of dining space that invites you to stay a while.

Questions, answered
Is the Bantham's woven back real rattan?
The back is woven from a durable rope in a natural sand tone. It gives you the handmade, textural look of woven rattan with less of the delicacy, making it well suited to everyday dining use.
Is the seat comfortable for long meals?
Yes. The seat is generously padded and upholstered in a soft bouclé-weave fabric, with a seat height of 49cm that sits comfortably under most dining tables.
Will it suit a round or rectangular table?
Both. The Bantham's clean, self-contained silhouette works beautifully around a round table and lines up neatly along a longer rectangular one.
How should I care for the woven back?
A regular dust with a soft, dry cloth or a gentle vacuum on a low setting will keep the weave looking its best. Avoid soaking the rope or the rubberwood frame.
