Description
Handmade with a traditional wicker weave and a timeless shape, the Turin lounge chair from Desser features an intricate woven back, sides and front skirt, creating an attractive piece for the living room or conservatory. The sweeping laminated triple rattan arms are smooth for added comfort when relaxing back in the chair. The hand-sewn striped seat and backrest cushions are made in the UK with a wrapped finish to help prevent wear and tear. The chair complements matching rattan furniture in the Turin range. Strong and durable, natural rattan is low maintenance and easy to keep clean. Wipe the furniture clean with a dry cloth or a slightly damp cloth and dry it afterwards. Keep the furniture in a dry environment and avoid leaving it under direct sunlight for prolonged periods. The furniture’s colour lasts longer if moved around a conservatory regularly to protect it from direct sun in the same spot. Sustainably sourced in Indonesia, rattan is fast-growing compared to wood alternatives and, as a companion crop, its farming encourages the preservation of forests. Every part of the rattan vine is used. Outer rattan cane is used for attractive weaving and the solid core is steamed to manipulate it into beautiful furniture shapes.
Our Stylist Says
I’m a fan of this grey striped rattan lounge chair for its smart blend of texture and pattern - it feels both relaxed and refined. It slots straight into coastal, Scandi-inspired or modern farmhouse schemes without overwhelming more pared-back pieces. For styling, try it in a snug reading corner with a chunky throw draped over the back and a muted cushion for extra comfort. It also sits nicely beside a pale oak side table or on top of a natural-weave rug to tie the look together.

About John Lewis
A Legacy of Innovation and Inclusion
John Lewis started as a small shop on London's Oxford Street in 1864. Today, it's part of a bigger family called the John Lewis Partnership, which also includes Waitrose stores.
What makes them special is that they're owned by their employees, known as 'Partners'. The idea, from the beginning, was to give everyone a say in how the business was run. With over 74,000 Partners (employees) at the heart of its operations, the essence of John Lewis's vision, from over a century ago, still echoes today being the largest employee-owned venture.
Adapting to Changing Times
Like many stores, John Lewis has had to change with the times. They've closed some shops but have grown their online business a lot, especially when more people started shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their history is filled with key moments, like buying Peter Jones in 1905, adding Waitrose in 1937, and starting their website in 2001. They've always tried to adapt and stay relevant.
Commitment to a Greater Purpose
John Lewis believes in doing good and making the world a better place. This is seen in the way they treat their employees and customers. For example, in 2021, they were the first big UK store to give parents six months paid leave when they have a baby and two weeks paid leave if they lose a pregnancy. They've been around for over a century and always aim to do the right thing by everyone.
