The story

For slow breakfasts and long, unhurried lunches.

Coffee in the morning, a long lunch at the weekend, homework spread across the table in the afternoon. The Daumesnil is an easy chair to live with every day: light to pull out, comfortable to stay in, and calm to look at.

Its square back frame holds a panel of woven cane that lets the light through, and the padded seat is covered in beige linen-look fabric. The frame is solid rubberwood with white ash veneer in a soft sand wash, with slim brass-tone stretchers between the legs.

The design

Three details behind the Daumesnil.

The Daumesnil is made of a few natural materials, put together simply. Three of them give it its character.

Woven Cane, Up Close

Woven Cane, Up Close

A handwoven cane panel fills the square back frame, adding natural texture and letting the light through, so a row of chairs never looks heavy.

Sand-Washed Wood, Brass-Tone Detail

Sand-Washed Wood, Brass-Tone Detail

Solid rubberwood with white ash veneer is finished in a soft sand wash that shows the grain. Slim brass-tone metal stretchers join the front and back legs on each side.
