Description
Designed by Philippe Starck, this dining armchair showcases the potential of natural materials and modern technology. The seat is a result of five layers of sturdy wood veneer, moulded using patented technology to create a three-dimensional shape. The result? A chair that has striking visual roundness and a unique curve in its structure, including integrated armrests for comfort. And while the overall look appears fluid and lightweight, this chair is impressively robust and ideal for creating a Mid-Century inspired style in your dining room. Want to see it first?

Our Stylist Says
The Philippe Starck for Kartell Q/Wood dining armchair offers a sleek blend of natural and contemporary elements, making it a versatile piece for various interiors. I love its ergonomic wooden shell paired with a contrasting seat cushion-ideal for adding warmth to minimalist or modern spaces. It works particularly well in smart, informal dining rooms or open-plan kitchens where you want a mix of style and comfort. For styling tips, consider pairing it with a light, textured table to highlight the wood finish or placing a group around a table to create a balanced, inviting dining area. Its understated yet distinctive look makes it a smart choice for those seeking a chair that’s both functional and aesthetically refined.

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.
