Materials and finishes
Finish: Walnut stain, satin protective topcoat
Designed by Francesco Feliziani. Seat and back are a single 12 mm formed plywood shell in A-grade ash veneer stained to a walnut finish, with the ply edge left exposed as a design detail. Legs and frame are solid ash — 25 mm frame, 90 × 90 mm leg section with 15 mm radiused edges.
The backrest reclines at 100 degrees rather than sitting vertical, which is what makes it comfortable to sit in through a long meal.
Care and warranty
Spills. Wipe up straight away and dry the area. Veneered and solid timber can both mark if liquid is left to sit, particularly wine, oil or anything acidic.
What to avoid. Skip household sprays, all-purpose cleaners, solvents, bleach and anything abrasive, as these can dull the satin topcoat and lift the walnut stain over time.
Sunlight and heat. Keep out of prolonged direct sunlight, which can shift the tone of any stained timber, and away from heaters and ducted vents.
Humidity. Keep the room reasonably stable and avoid extremes of damp or very dry air. Sudden swings cause problems, not normal household conditions.
Occasional conditioning (optional). Once or twice a year you can revive the finish with a quality furniture wax or stained-timber-safe polish. Test on the underside of the seat first, apply thinly and buff off fully.
Protecting the finish. Lift the chair rather than dragging it. If you add felt pads, check them occasionally as grit can lodge underneath and scratch flooring.
Structural care. Every few months, check the leg fixings and re-tighten by hand if needed.
2-year warranty

Let customers speak for us
We recently purchased 5 of the Mattia Occasional Armchairs in Tan Leather and couldn't be happier with them. They are incredibly comfortable, with a supportive seat and back. The tan leather is soft, feels high quality, and looks even better in person, adding a warm, stylish touch to the room.
If you're looking for a comfortable, attractive occasional chair, we would highly recommend the Mattia.
Absolutely love my new bookshelf! I was so happy to find out this is an incredible small business, and was blown away by the level of care and communication I received from Adam in the process. Delivery was much quicker than I expected, and he was so helpful bringing the boxes up to my apartment. Instructions were clear and easy to set up and it just looks gorgeous :)
A beautiful piece of furniture. Loved it from the minute it was placed in the room. Colours in the timber work perfectly with my timber floors. Love the rounded edges and the unique legs. A good quality unit. Also, the best personalised customer service I’ve ever experienced. James responded to my questions immediately and organised for us to meet at their storage unit so I could get a better idea of the colour of the timber. It was personally delivered by James the day after ordering. They even assembled it and took the packaging away! I highly recommend this company!
Looks just like the picture and easy to put together. Looks perfect in the room
Stunning black leather armchair. It’s minimal lines, perfect quality leather and quite easy to move around. Excellent for a small space although it’s quite wide. Loved it so much I bought a second one and they look good together. Amazing value for such a high quality chair. I bought the second one (sale price) because I couldn’t stop thinking about it. Adam so good to deal with.
Glad I found this chair. The design is cool and the quality is really really good. Service is fantastic. A great find and highly recommended.
The lounge is exactly as described — wide, comfortable, and very well made. It feels extremely solid and durable, and I can see it lasting for many years outdoors. The quality of the materials and finish is excellent.
Delivery was on time and handled very professionally, and the assembly process was straightforward and easy. Very happy with the purchase
While looking for new lounge furniture, we stumbled across the Seek and Ramble website and immediately purchased the Kiama coffee table, later adding the Kiama lowline entertainment unit. These two quality items pair perfectly; the warmth of the light Ash timber veneer beautifully complements the other elements in the room.
Assembly of the bases for both units was simple and straightforward. From the outset, communication from Seek and Ramble was courteous and exceptional. It was a pleasure to receive such personalised service from James, who kept us updated on the delivery progress of the entertainment unit from NSW."
I love my black leather armchair! It arrived fast and in really good quality wrapping. It’s larger than I thought (I forgot to measure it) but it’s so open and light it fits in perfectly in my small living room. Beautiful quality leather, very well made. I love it! Also Adam is a pleasure to communicate with! Thank you very much, Robbie
Excellent customer service. Adam was incredibly helpful and ensured I was completely satisfied.
I wanted a coffee table that was a bit different and exciting to complement my eclectic style and this table really does the job. It doesn’t just look good it’s good quality and the sale price tipped me right over the edge. Delivery was very fast too
Arrived as the website pic promised. Quick delivery. Easy to assemble. Looks classy. Got my eye on matching drinks trolley. ✔️✔️
I bought the Kiama entertainment unit and coffee table in December. Seek & Ramble were more than happy to hold the delivery over Christmas until I could take it. Although despatched together, the entertainment unit was delivered first and the coffee table a few days later. On flagging this to Seek & Ramble, Adam promptly called to reassure me he would monitor it but all should be ok. And it was.
The pieces are gorgeous and of superb quality. There is very little assembly (just the legs which is easy) and they look fabulous in the space.
Highly recommend!
Now have the full set, and somewhere to put my drink... 🍹☺ Looks so slick - absolutely love it. Great quality and solid - not going anywhere. Great service from Seek & Ramble, will def be back.
My Kiama buffet was delivered earlier than I expected (when does that ever happen?) by Adam and James. They cheerfully offered to set the buffet up and were careful to remove all the packaging. I’m delighted with the quality of the piece and will keep Seek and Ramble in mind when I buy in the future.
What is the Xara Dining Chair made from?
The seat and back are formed plywood shells finished in premium A-grade ash veneer, and the legs and frame are solid ash. It is finished with a clear natural coat and a protective satin topcoat.
What does the natural finish look like?
It keeps the ash close to its raw state, a pale, creamy tone with fine, straight grain. The clear satin coat protects the surface without adding colour or yellowing the timber.
Why plywood for the seat and back?
Formed plywood lets the seat and backrest hold their sculpted curves while staying light and highly resistant to movement. It is a considered engineering choice, wrapped in the same A-grade ash veneer as the rest of the chair, with the layered edge left exposed as a design detail.
Who designed it?
The Xara was designed by Francesco Feliziani.
Do you have a showroom?
Our studio space is open by appointment. Come see our products up close, explore the details, and chat about your project. Whether you need styling advice or want to discuss your ideas, we’re here to help. Book your visit today.
Does the chair require assembly?
Minimal assembly only. The legs attach on arrival via threaded inserts and timber dowels, and the tools are included. Most people have it ready in a few minutes.
Can I order a matching set?
Yes. The Xara is designed to work beautifully in pairs or as a full set, with consistent tone and finish across every chair.
Is this solid walnut?
No, and we are upfront about that. It is ash, stained to a warm walnut tone. You get genuine walnut colour and grain character across a strong ash frame and veneered shells, at a more accessible price than solid walnut, with better resistance to warping over time.
Value for money and longevity — built to last for years rather than seasons, aligning with Seek & Ramble’s “furniture for life” philosophy.
