The Abbott
New for 2024, designed by The Marchmont Workshop in collaboration with renowned chair maker Mike Abbott. Formally known as a lath-back chair, this design features a panel constructed from 5 delicately meandering laths, held between two crest rails. Developed by Mike over decades, the carefully thought out and measured combination of curves offer unrivalled comfort and lumbar support amongst our chairs, both cradling and supporting your back. Combined with our classic and comfortable woven rush seat and sturdy greenwood construction methods, the Abbott is a chair you won’t want to get out of.

Our chairs are finished with a Mylands Clear wax polish, which will protect from stains and small spills. Simply wipe anything off quickly with a damp cloth. If you feel like it needs a top up, any wax based finish will be sufficient.
The rushes are a naturally stain resistant material, any spills can just be wiped off with a damp cloth. Please note: Rushes are a natural fibre and if left in a cold damp environment are at risk of going mouldy. Please take care when storing long term.
