Description
With their woven rattan backs, these Elkstone dining chairs from The Cotswold Company bring a mid-century feel to your space. Each piece in the set of two features clean, simple lines for a refined and tranquil effect. The seats are padded for comfort.
Our Stylist Says
I love this set of two elkstone rattan-back chairs for their blend of natural materials and timeless design. They work well in both traditional and modern interiors, adding a touch of warmth and texture without feeling overly rustic. These chairs are perfect for a light, airy dining space or even as statement accent pieces around a kitchen island. For styling tips, consider pairing them with neutral toned tableware and soft, cosy textiles to create an inviting atmosphere. They also look great mixed with other wood tones or paired with colourful cushions to add personality and comfort. Their natural finish makes them versatile and easy to incorporate into various interior themes.

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.
