FAQs

Orkney chairs originated in the Scottish islands, historically constructed by local craftsmen using driftwood and oat straw to withstand harsh coastal winds.

Authentic pieces traditionally utilise a low-grade timber frame, such as drift-collected driftwood, beech or oak, paired with tightly woven oat straw or wheat straw backs.

Authentication involves examining the hand-stitched rush work, pegged wooden joinery, and the distinct curved hood or high back characteristic of traditional island construction.

This piece works well as a textural focal point in a neutral living room or hallway, paired with minimalist decor to highlight its handcrafted heritage.

Keep the chair away from direct sunlight and high humidity to prevent the straw from drying out or becoming brittle, cleaning gently with a soft dry brush.
