Description
Our Design Studio have made our Contour dining chair to provide maximum comfort using minimal materials. They exploited the potential of mouldable plywood in order to make a three-dimensional backrest that contours the body, while also giving the design a visual lightness. The seat pad is foam-filled and upholstered in supple leather for a premium finish. Casual curves;Manufacturer's have traditionally used plastic to mould furniture into complex shapes, however for a more natural finish and with added veneers, we've formed the curved backrest from plywood. It almost cocoons the back, supporting you so that you sit in comfort. Sleek frame;Discreet and streamlined, the steel frame has been designed to create a seamless connection with the wooden back rest. Cut into a flat, oval tube, the frame appears thinner from certain angles. Stack it away;Up to four of our Contour chairs can be stacked together, making them ideal for smaller spaces and temporary dining rooms. This chair has also been tested to contract use.

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.
