Reading Chair & Side Table

Seating · 2023

The piece

A low, generous reading chair with a woven seat and a side table sized for a lamp and a stack of books.

The chair is built for long sits: a reclined back, arms at exactly book-holding height, and a woven cord seat that gives a little and never needs reupholstering. The side table tucks beside it with room for tea.

Finished with soap — the pale Scandinavian finish that keeps white oak light and can be refreshed in minutes. Three years on, the owner reports the chair has reshaped her evenings.

Why it works

  • Woven cord seat, replaceable for life
  • Ergonomics tuned over three prototypes
  • Soap finish, refreshable in minutes
