Lancaster Chair

The Lancaster Chair is a straightforward, industrial-modern dining chair: a slim, square-tube steel frame with straight legs and stretchers, carrying a solid wood seat and a solid wood back panel. The contrast of dark powder coated steel and warm, natural wood grain gives it an honest, workshop look that fits right into brewpubs, cafes and contemporary restaurants.

The flat, rectangular back panel and squared seat keep the lines clean and simple, and the solid wood surfaces wear in with use. Choose from a wide range of powder coat colors and wood finishes to dial the look from rugged to refined, and pair it with the coordinating Lancaster Stool at the bar or counter.
