Citrus Fruit Button Back Occasional Chair | Handmade in the UK

Lemons, oranges and green leaves scattered across a button-back occasional chair — a print that has no interest in being tasteful and is all the better for it. This one is made to order in a British workshop rather than imported in a container, which shows in the details: the deep buttoning is worked by hand, the pattern is matched across the back, and the frame is built to be reupholstered in twenty years rather than replaced in five.

Made to order in the UK — 4 week lead time

Each of these chairs is hand made in the UK once your order is placed. Please allow approximately 4 weeks from order to dispatch. It is a genuine wait for a genuinely hand-built piece, and we would rather tell you now than after you have paid.

A note on colour

Please look at the close-up fabric image as well as the main shot. The main photograph is unedited, but the lighting makes the print read brighter and more saturated than it appears in a real room. In daylight it is a softer, warmer thing than the hero image suggests — which most people find is an improvement.

How to style it

Fruit prints belong in rooms that get light. A kitchen-diner, a garden room, a conservatory, a bright bedroom — anywhere the yellows and greens have something to bounce off. Keep the surrounding scheme plain: white or soft green walls, natural wood, plain linen. One of these is a delight; a matching pair either side of a window is a proper decorating decision.

It also works surprisingly well as a bedroom or dressing-room chair, where the compact 74cm width earns its place and the print stays private rather than dominating a shared living space.

Delivery and care

Made to order with an approximate 4 week lead time, then dispatched fully assembled. Spot-clean with a damp cloth and a mild upholstery cleaner; test on a hidden section first. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight, which will fade a printed cotton over time. Vacuum on a low setting with a brush attachment, taking care around the buttoning.
