Price History
Description
A curved backrest and open cut out detail give the Kingsbridge Dining Chairs an architectural look, while providing supportive comfort for longer meals. Upholstered in a textured fabric, the woven finish adds depth and softness, complementing the natural ash frame. Made by Corndell, the design works well with contemporary and classic dining interiors.
Our Stylist Says
These Kingsbridge dining chairs are a stylish choice for bringing a natural, understated look to your dining space. I love their clean lines and dark legs, which add a touch of sophistication that works well in both contemporary and classic interiors. They’re versatile enough to pair with a variety of table styles and colours, making them a practical choice for a range of settings. For styling tips, consider adding cushions in soft fabrics or subtle patterns to introduce texture and comfort, or feature a statement tableware collection to elevate the overall look. These chairs are particularly suited to light and airy kitchens or dining rooms, but they can also work well in more muted or earthy schemes for a cosy, inviting atmosphere.

About Marks & Spencer
History and Expansion
Marks and Spencer, often lovingly called "Marks and Sparks" or "M&S", has been a staple in the UK market since its founding in 1884. Over the years, the brand has seen tremendous growth, with 1,064 stores across the UK and an additional 406 locations worldwide as of 2023.
Historically, M&S was celebrated for its commitment to selling British-made goods, pioneering the "St Michael" brand in 1928 which honoured its co-founder Michael Marks.
As they grew, M&S maintained its reputation for quality, fair value, and innovative customer policies, even allowing returns with full cash refunds regardless of purchase date.
Clothing & Home Business Endeavours
In recent years, M&S has focused on modernising its Clothing & Home business, striving to offer contemporary, stylish products that resonate with their 22 million customers.
A noteworthy move was their acquisition of Jaeger in 2021, a brand that shares a founding year with M&S. Under M&S's umbrella, Jaeger remains an independent brand, renowned for its timeless elegance, and is now available on M&S's website and in select M&S stores across the UK and Ireland.
Sustainability and Innovations
Throughout its existence, Marks and Spencer has demonstrated commitment to improving customer experience and sustainability.
In the 1950s, they introduced hygiene training for canteen staff, and by the 1960s had implemented thermostatically controlled refrigerators for enhanced energy efficiency.
M&S has been at the forefront of many retail innovations, from introducing "sell by dates" in the early '70s to enhance food quality, to banning smoking in all their stores as early as 1959 due to fire hazards.
The brand's long standing dedication to quality, customer relations, and sustainability remains evident in their practices today.
