SKU: TOCG-ALFREDSTON Category:

The Alfredston takes its name from Hardy’s fictionalised Wantage in Jude the Obscure, a place of quiet ambition and considered beauty. Its upright stance and clean lines make it an ideal accent piece for a study or hallway.

It has no arms. The back is tall, upright and lightly shaped, the seat is neat, and dark tapered legs carry it — closer to a fine dining or desk chair than to anything club-shaped. At 51cm wide it is the narrowest chair in the collection.

That narrowness is its whole purpose. Six of them will go round a dining table where six armchairs would not. One will sit at a desk or a dressing table without the arms fouling the drawer. A pair either side of a hall table takes almost no room at all.

Small upholstered areas take strong fabric well, and a set of these in a single bold print is a genuinely striking thing. Equally, tailored cloths — herringbones, tight weaves, fine checks — suit the upright formality of the frame.

Designed in York, handcrafted in Nottingham. Made to order in 10–12 weeks, with free fabric samples posted before you order.
