The Moonback Chair

Inspired by a fine English side chair from the 1780s, this elegant design works well as a side, desk or dining chair. Made by expert chair makers in Dorset and upholstered in a choice of Soane (or client’s own) fabric or leather, it is finished with a line of decorative nailing – a traditional finishing technique done entirely by hand in Soane’s own workshop in Somerset, England.
The upholstery filling of this design is made using natural materials.
