John Lewis Santino Dining Arm Chair

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.
