Minimalist Dining Chair in Solid Oak by James Torble, Loose Fit Furniture, UK
By Loose Fit
Located in Bexhill-on-Sea East Sussex, GB
Minimalist Dining Chair. Created by Loose Fit and handmade to order in the UK. Available in a choice of three timbers - English Oak, Ash or London Plane.
Simple and delicate in appearance, yet comfortable and durable enough for everyday use.
Understated and elegant wooden dining chair featuring the subtle use of hand cut dovetail and bridle joints to form the simplicity and rigidity of the frame. They have a solid wood seat which shows off the prime timber of their construction.
The design has a modern, square frame which creates clean lines and makes them lightweight even though they are made from solid timber.
The chair is finished in a hard wax oil, which gives it a satin sheen and brings out the grain of the wood.
Chair available in three types of timber - solid Oak, olive Ash or London Plane. Choose oak for a classic warm colour, olive ash for a lighter wood with the character of an older tree, or London plane for figured wood with rich colouring.
Please get in touch for custom sizes, different timber and finishing options.

Meltdown Chair, PP Tube #1 White by Tom Price, Contemporary, Limited Edition
By Tom Price
Located in PARIS, FR
'Meltdown Chair, PP Tube #1 White' is a piece by English artist Tom Price, from the Meltdown Series. This chair is made entirely from polypropylene tubes, no other material is added. The artist assembles a stack of common plumbing tubes and then he presses it on a heated metal seat-shaper former. The ends of the tubes melt and fuse together. When they cool and subsequently harden, the shape of the seat is created. Tom Price thus alters the structural and aesthetic qualities of the plastic material, giving rise to interesting contrasts in texture and form within the same object.
Launched in 2007, the Meltdown Series earned Tom Price widespread international acclaim for his innovative production processes and eye-catching approach to working with commonplace plastic products. The way of assembling the plastic material and the mostly unpredictable patterns created by the heating method ensure that every piece is unique and unrepeatable. This design pieces are true sculptural objects, while at the same time being fully functional and very robust.
Meltdown Chairs are included in the permanent collections of several Museums, including SFMOMA San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (US), the Denver Art Museum (US), The Nelson Atkins Museum (US), Chatsworth House (UK), MKG Hamburg (Germany) and the Amore Pacific Museum (South Korea).
Works from the Meltdown Series have been exhibited extensively throughout the USA, South America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. They have been included in many high-profile museum exhibitions, including SFMOMA San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (US), MAD Museum of Art and Design New York (US); The Mint Museum (US); Denver Art Museum (US); Design Museum Holon (Israel); Design Museum Gent (Belgium); NRW Forum Dusseldorf (Germany); The Latvian National Museum of Art in Riga (Latvia). They have also featured at international art and design fairs, including Design Miami Basel (Switzerland); Sao Paolo Design Festival (Brazil); Cheongju International Craft Biennale (South Korea), Design Days Dubai (United Arab Emirates); Gwangju Biennale (South Korea) and Lodz International Design Biennale (Poland).
Finally, the series has been featured in multiple publications, including: The Campaign for Art...
