Traditional American Dining Chair
Classic Cottage Style Built for Everyday Dining
The Cottage Chair combines the familiar character of a traditional ladder back chair with the strength and comfort needed for everyday dining. Steam bent back posts and curved back slats provide supportive seating, while traditional interlocking joinery and your choice of four seat styles make this a versatile chair for kitchens, dining rooms, breakfast tables, and gathering spaces.
Choice of Seat Materials
Choose a slatted wood, solid wood, seagrass or paper cord seat to suit your space and seating preferences.
Steam Bent Back for Comfort
Steam bent back posts and curved ladder back slats create a supportive shape that follows the body more naturally than a flat chair back while preserving the chair's classic Cottage profile.
Traditional Interlocking Joinery
Interlocking joinery and swelled joint construction create strong wood connections without relying on glue, using proven chair making methods designed for years of everyday use.
Four Distinct Seat Styles
Choose a slatted double scoop seat, solid wood seat, seagrass, or paper cord to create the combination of comfort, texture, and traditional character that works best in your home.
