The Shelley dining chair

Description

The Shelly Dining Chair is one of those rare dining chairs that looks elegant and sits even better. Its traditionally hand‑tied coil sprung seat and sprung back give it a level of comfort you simply don’t expect at the dining table — perfect for long dinner parties, family celebrations or evenings where conversation carries on far past dessert. And because of its construction, it’s handmade to last decades, keeping that comfort and support for years to come.

The solid Hardwood frame is glued, dowelled and screwed for strength, while the walnut legs add warmth and sophistication. The self‑piped finish and chrome studding give the Shelly its crisp, tailored look — refined without ever feeling formal. Prefer something different underneath do you? Many alternative fillings are available, from completely natural materials to No Effort, No Plumping comfy foam.

We make dozens of dining chair designs, but they all share one thing: that coil‑sprung seat and carefully chosen fillings make them the comfiest dining chairs you’ll ever sit in. The Shelly is no exception — once you’ve sat in it, every other dining chair feels like a compromise.

Every Shelly Dining Chair is handmade to order, so all dimensions and specifications can be bespoke — deeper seat, higher back, wider proportions or a silhouette tailored precisely to your space. Like a Savile Row suit, it’s made to fit you.

And when it comes to fabric, the chair can be upholstered in any designer fabric or any of our exclusive ranges in our Fabric Library, the largest in East Anglia, with expert guidance from our interior design team to help you find the perfect match.
