The story

A chair to settle into at the end of the day.

Some chairs you perch on. The Bastien is one you settle into: for a slow breakfast, a video call at the kitchen table, or the last of the wine after everyone else has gone to bed.

A single bentwood shell in a warm walnut finish wraps the back and sides of a wide, scooped seat. Gray woven fabric cushions the seat and backrest, and an open gap between them keeps the outline light. It is a classic mid-century shape on slim tapered legs.

The Bastien takes its shape from classic mid-century dining chairs. Three details explain why it looks light and sits soft.
