The Xara dining chair combines honest materials with refined craftsmanship. High-grade plywood wrapped in premium A-grade ash veneer forms the contoured seat and backrest, creating gentle curves that stay light and resilient. The floating backrest design and 100-degree recline support relaxed, natural posture through long meals. Solid ash legs and a 25mm ash frame provide stability, with generously rounded edges and exposed ply detailing that celebrate the chair's construction. A piece that earns its place through understated elegance.

Materials and finishes

Finish: Satin protective topcoat

Designed by Francesco Feliziani. Seat and back are a single 12 mm formed plywood shell in A-grade ash veneer, 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
Vacuum your fabric upholstery regularly using a soft brush attachment to keep it fresh and free of dust. Treat spills immediately; blot (never rub) with a clean, dry cloth to absorb as much liquid as possible before it sets.

For deeper cleaning, use a fabric-appropriate upholstery cleaner and test on a hidden area first. Rotate and plump cushions regularly to maintain shape and ensure even wear. Keep away from prolonged direct sunlight to preserve the colour.

A considered chair for dining rooms and living spaces.

With warm wood tones and considered proportions, every piece in the collection is designed to look great, feel even better, and become part of your home’s story for years to come.

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.
