Price History
Description
Drift is a nod to the early 19th century Orkney chair taking reference from the signature oak framed structure. It's made with a beech solid timber frame that has been softened, enhancing how the product feels to the touch, and upholstered in smooth velvet. Much like the original Orkney chair, Drift is designed to be simple and, above all else, comfortable. Want to see it first?

Our Stylist Says
I love this seat because of its clean, streamlined design and neutral tones, making it highly versatile for a variety of interiors. It works particularly well in contemporary or Scandinavian-style spaces thanks to its soft curves and natural wood frame, but can also complement more eclectic or minimal settings. For styling tips, consider pairing it with a textured or patterned cushion to add comfort and personality, or team it with a sleek dining table in wood or metal for a balanced look. Its understated aesthetic allows it to blend seamlessly into both casual family dining rooms and more sophisticated dining areas, serving as a functional yet stylish addition.

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.
