This armchair pays homage to the Sussex chair - one of the defining designs of the Arts & Crafts movement. The oak frame includes a spindled back and tapering legs, while the seat is made from woven rush. Its deep seat and high armrests make Wycombe a comfortable fireside chair, but it also has a striking impact in a bedroom or a hallway.

Materials
We source the finest cuts of solid oak for our timber furniture, which gives it the strength and longevity to last for generations. Like any natural material, oak features variations in colour and grain and characterful knots – qualities to be celebrated as part of its very nature.
Design inspiration
Wycombe pays homage to the Arts & Crafts movement that emerged at the end of the 19th century. Its pioneers championed quality materials and traditional craftsmanship, with utility and beauty always at the forefront. Morris & Co’s seminal Sussex Chair prompted Wycombe’s key design notes – the woven rush seat and spindled back.
