Orwell Carver Chair

Orwell Carver Chair

Fit for the head of the table, cosying up next to the fireside, or sitting proudly in the living room, The Orwell is a definitive Suffolk design. Comfort and a humble elegance are inherent in its form, providing generations with somewhere great to sit.

Available in a range of woods or colours, you can have this chair exactly the way you’d like it. Custom sizes are also available upon request.  

  • Seat height  45.5cm
  • Seat width at widest point  50cm
  • Seat depth  40.5cm
  • Total back height  84cm
  • Arm height  68.5cm (lower arm height available if height under table is limited)

Construction & customisation

All of my chairs are hand crafted from solid hardwoods. Painted chairs are made in solid American cherry (Prunus serotina), chosen for its ideal balance of strength, lightness and paintability. I use a high-grade enamel furniture paint, which can be colour-matched to any shade from the manufacturer of your choice.

For my oak chairs, I work with prime-grade European or English oak (Quercus robur), selected for the character and tone best suited to each piece. They are finished with a hard-wax oil, which can be tinted to a range of tones to achieve the desired finish.

Other timbers and finishes are available upon request.
