Creation Story of the Symphony Chair

The Symphony Chair was born from a single vision: to create not just a seat, but a sanctuary. We started with solid ash wood, chosen for its enduring strength and beautiful grain. Each piece was selected by hand, ensuring the natural character of the wood would shine through in the final design.

In our workshop, the wood comes to life. Artisans skilled hand work shapes the wood into gentle curves that support the body. The woven jute seat is created with equal care, each strand placed to create a surface that is both durable and comfortable. The process is a balance of honouring traditional techniques and meeting modern needs.

The finished chair is a study in harmonious design. The matte oil finish enhances the wood's natural beauty while providing protection. The Symphony Chair is a place to connect, reflect, and create lasting memories in any space it graces.

Sustainability and Wood Origin

We source our timber from trusted sawmills around the world, working only with partners who share our commitment to sustainability and responsible woodland management. The trees we use are never cut down purely for production — our wood comes from trees that have reached the natural end of their life cycle or have been carefully recovered from managed forests.

Each slab is firstly air dried for a minimum of 2-5 years and then kiln dried to 8-12% moisture content, which ensures its strength and stability. Every piece we craft celebrates the beauty of wood while caring for the forests it came from.

Care and Maintenance

Your table is protected with a premium wax oil finish that enhances the wood’s natural beauty while allowing it to breathe. With simple care, it will age beautifully for years to come.

Daily Care

•⁠ ⁠Wipe with a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth.
•⁠ ⁠Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners — use only gentle, wood-safe products.
•⁠ ⁠Clean spills promptly to prevent staining or moisture marks.
•⁠ ⁠Protect from direct heat and prolonged sunlight exposure.
•⁠ ⁠Always use coasters, placemats, and felt pads under accessories.

Included Care Kit
Each table comes with:

•⁠ ⁠A small tin of matching wax oil
•⁠ ⁠A soft cloth
•⁠ ⁠A pair of protective gloves

Long-Term Maintenance

•⁠ ⁠Reapply a thin coat of wax oil once or twice a year, or whenever the surface looks dry.
•⁠ ⁠Apply along the grain using the provided cloth and gloves.
•⁠ ⁠Allow the oil to absorb, then gently buff to a soft, natural sheen.
•⁠ ⁠Regular care will nourish the wood, preserve its finish, and maintain its timeless character.
