A distinctive contemporary styled chair, made in English oak for Steve by English based Sitting Firm Chairmakers. Frequently a talking point with visitors to the show room, it is particularly unusual having just three legs and what looks like a single piece of timber that has been crafted to work as both back support and back leg. A wonderful piece of feature seating for any modern home.
A Split Splat Back chair represents a refined variation of the traditional splat back design, where the central back panel (splat) is divided or “split” into two parallel vertical sections. This distinctive style creates an elegant and balanced appearance while maintaining strong back support.
The key design features include a center back panel that’s divided lengthwise into two matching sections, with a deliberate space between them. These parallel splats typically extend from the chair’s seat up to the top rail, and they may be plain or decorated with carved designs. The split design often incorporates gentle curves that follow the natural contours of the spine, providing both comfort and visual appeal.
