Description
Crafted entirely from solid oak, our Santino range of furniture takes inspiration from the minimalist and simplistic style of Scandinavian-inspired design. Sleek profiles and oiled finishes highlight the natural grain of the wood, while curved edges lend a softer look. Bringing a comfort-led approach to contemporary design, this chair has a curved backrest that scoops to incorporate armrests. This encourages you to sit comfortably, while keeping your spine aligned. The faux-leather or fabric upholstery on the frame and seat pad ensures a soft, smart and well-padded finish, and complements the natural tone of the oak base. Want to see it first? You may want to see and get a feel for the furniture in one of our shops before ordering. We'll be able to tell you where the range you'd like to view is on display.
Our Stylist Says
I really like this chair for its blend of classic and contemporary styles, making it versatile in various interiors. Its clean lines and soft leather pairing work well in modern dining rooms but also complement Scandinavian or mid-century schemes. Practical styling tips include pairing it with a neutral or soft-toned table to highlight its warmth, or combining a mix of similar chairs for an eclectic look. Adding a simple plush seat pad can increase comfort, and its understated design makes it easy to incorporate into both cosy family kitchens and more formal dining spaces. Overall, it balances comfort with style, offering a timeless addition to your dining area.

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.
