About This Piece

The Tess is an occasional chair built around simple, minimal lines, with a soft button detail that breaks up the back. It sits on slender timber legs and keeps a small footprint, so it slots into a corner, a bedroom or a reading nook without crowding it.

It is made to order in Australia in your choice of fabric or leather, with or without arms, and timber legs finished in a choice of stains.

Styled for Sydney Living

The Tess suits an inner-city Sydney home where you want an extra seat that does not take over. Pair two in a living room, sit one in a bedroom corner, or use it as a reading chair by a window. Choose arms for more support or no arms for a lighter look, and have it made to order in the fabric you choose.
