Price History
Description
The Mimi Quilt dining chair reinvents a classic 1940s French piece, richly clad in quilted hand-softened leather for a modern, textured look. With brass stud detailing and tapered wooden legs, this timeless style has a gently flared back and padded seat for added comfort, so you can chat for hours over dinner with friends.
Our Stylist Says
This vintage bianco leather dining chair is a fantastic choice for adding a touch of elegance and texture to both classic and contemporary interiors. I love its quilted leather detailing, which brings a subtle luxe feel without overwhelming the overall look. The arms make it comfortable for longer seating, perfect for formal dining settings or a stylish kitchen table. It works particularly well in eclectic or mid-century modern spaces, especially when paired with warm woods or metallic accents. For styling tips, consider mixing it with neutral-toned tableware to highlight its leather detailing or layering with soft textiles in the surrounding space for a cosy yet refined aesthetic. Keep in mind that its vintage-inspired vibe makes it a versatile piece that can elevate various interior styles.

A Remarkable Journey
Born from the vision of two young RAF men, Charles Barker and Alex Stonehouse, Barker and Stonehouse emerged as a beacon of hope, infusing post-war Britain with a hint of glamour. Starting from a single store in Stockton on Tees, their entrepreneurial spirit led to rapid expansion, opening multiple stores across the region.
Their fast growth was fueled not only by their flair for business but also by their dedication to innovation. The business transformed over the years, adapting to the changing landscapes of retail, all while preserving its charm and values. By 2021, they marked an impressive 75 years in the industry, a testament to their enduring commitment to quality and customer service.
Sustainability at the Forefront
From the very start, Barker and Stonehouse has held a deep commitment to the environment. This devotion was showcased through initiatives such as the Trees4Trees Project, a reforestation effort in Indonesia.
Ensuring that for every tree used in their products, more than two were replanted, nearly 1.5 million trees have been restored under this initiative.
Their Knaresborough store, one of the greenest retail stores in the UK, further underscores their dedication to sustainable practices. As a cherry on top, by 2021, the company achieved the status of "Carbon Neutral Plus", making them a trailblazer in the furniture industry.
Innovative Spaces and Expanding Horizons
Over the decades, Barker and Stonehouse didn't just expand in number, but in the quality and innovation of their spaces. From opening their iconic store in Battersea, London, which beautifully preserved the characteristics of an old candle factory, to their latest state-of-the-art Gateshead store in 2023, every location tells a story.
They have also ventured into digital realms, ensuring a vast online presence and offering a wide range of products to customers all over the UK. Their partnerships, like the one with Fenwick in 2021, illustrate their adaptability and constant quest to reach new audiences.
