Weston Chair

The Weston Chair is a solid wood dining chair with a seat and back of woven leather strapping. Wide leather straps are interlaced in a tight basket weave across a squared frame, creating a seat that flexes gently and a back that supports without padding. The legs are straight and slightly tapered, with low side stretchers that keep the profile clean.

Shown with a natural wood frame and black leather, the Weston has a crafted, relaxed character that feels at home in steakhouses, wine bars, mountain lodges and modern bistros. The leather softens and develops a patina with use, so the chair looks better as it ages. Choose from teak, oak, ash, beech or walnut frames and four leather colors. It coordinates with the Weston Stool and Weston Backless Stool, and Bridgette Bar in Toronto is shown in the project photos on this page.
