The story

Two soft, simple chairs for everyday meals and long conversations.

A dining chair gets sat in more than almost anything else in the house: at breakfast, through homework, for the last cup of tea after everyone else has gone to bed. The Boissière keeps you comfortable through all of it, with a seat that curves straight up into a gently reclined back and a soft cream cotton-linen cover.

Underneath, an open frame of rubberwood in a warm brown finish does the work: crisp mitred corners at the top of each side, a soft curve beneath, and legs that lean gently forward and back. The chairs come as a pair, the price is for both, and they belong to the Boissière collection.

The design

Three details behind the Boissière chair.

The Boissière chair is one soft shape on a simple wooden frame. Look closer and three choices stand out.

Cream Cotton-Linen, One Shape

Cream Cotton-Linen, One Shape

The seat and back are one continuous shape in a pale cream weave of 55% cotton and 45% linen. A fine sewn seam follows its edges, and the back of the chair is covered in the same fabric.

Mitred Corners, Open Base

Mitred Corners, Open Base

On each side, a rubberwood rail meets the legs in crisp mitred corners with a soft curve beneath. The front legs lean slightly forward, the back legs slightly back, and nothing runs between them low down.

A 17.25-inch seat height suits a table about 29 to 30 inches high, such as the Boissière dining table. The price covers two chairs, packed together in one box.

Planning tip. Each chair is 18.5" (47 cm) wide and 23.4" (59 cm) deep, with a 17.25" (44 cm) seat height for a table about 29-30" (74-76 cm) high. Allow about 24" (61 cm) of table edge per chair and about 36" (91 cm) between the table and the wall so the chairs pull out easily.
