Timeless Essentials

Written by Ethnicraft | Jun 13, 2022 6:00:00 AM

Over the years, some designs have become classics of our collection; timeless essentials intended to be passed on from generation to generation. 
We believe that these meaningful pieces form the basis of a home, whatever life may hold.

Bok dining chair


First launched in 2016, the Bok dining chair is reminiscent of an antelope’s slim legs and curved horns. Its simplistic curves and seamless connections hide a great technicality, that pushes the limits of solid wooden craftsmanship. This eye-catching piece combines sculptural elegance and contemporary crafting into a graceful and airy form.

 

 

The Bok chair embodies Ethnicraft’s vision of design. One that finds a place in any
setting, whatever the style, and that can be enjoyed for generations to come.

 

 

 

Eye dining chair


We introduce you to the Eye chair, a playful cousin with sleek, angular front legs and flowing smooth connections. The curved backrest, reminiscent of a winked eye, inspired the name of the chair. The Eye dining chair is a hallmark solid wooden seating design. 

 

Graphic sideboard


The Graphic sideboard reflects the angular shapes seen in mountain ranges, the natural sensation of movement found in open spaces. Alain van Havre started playing with triangles and layers to reproduce this feeling on a surface. The result forms the lightcatching isometric configuration.

 

 

 

“I went back to memories of things I like,
such as the angular shapes of mountains”

Spindle bench


The Spindle collection is inspired by the traditional spinning wheel. The rhythm formed by the perfectly aligned spokes creates the sensation of familiarity and continuity. The slightly tapered legs and rounded edges add a soft, comforting quality.


Mikado dining table

With interlocking legs like a well-thought out puzzle, the Mikado’s sculptural character results from a quest to find a balance between functionality and stability. It has held its place as one of our most identifiable designs for years. Its distinct footbase structure is recognisable across our table range, from dining tables to coffee tables and side tables.
