Description
Our Santino dining chair was designed to be as easy on the eye as it is on the… well, you know. It was CREATED FOR REAL LIFE: comfy enough to stay at the dinner table after the dining is done rather than retreating to the sofa. Its Scandi-inspired minimalism is reflected in the gentle curves of the backrest scooping down to seamlessly transform into perfectly placed armrests. The sleek shapes and oiled finishes highlight the wood's natural grain. And it's not just for show — that backrest design encourages a comfy seat that keeps your back properly aligned, ideal for long dinner party discussions setting the world to rights, or flexible workers who have repurposed the dining table as their desk, or parents re-learning long division to help with homework, or board game nights, or whatever the modern dining table plays host to. The frame itself is solid oak wood, chosen for its strength, durability and of course distinctive grain. 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.

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.
