Oxbow

The Oxbow Collection originates from the design and development of the Oxbow Armchair. The aim was to create a leather-slung dining chair with comfort at its core. To allow the seat and backrest a degree of movement in relation to the chair frame, a central dowel pin locates the slings. This detail references the gentle movement and continuity found in meandering rivers, and has become a defining feature of the range.

Pieces within the collection share a quiet, domestic character. Rounded profile legs, softened edge detailing, and considered material selection contribute to a sense of warmth and ease in use.

The Oxbow Collection combines a high level of comfort with a refined, enduring aesthetic.

Oxbow Chair

  • ‍ Designed and produced by Namon Gaston.

    Available as both an armchair and side chair, the Oxbow is defined by clear proportions and a strong emphasis on comfort. Designed for extended use, the chair supports the body while remaining relaxed and adaptable in a range of settings.

    Profiles within the frame house the tailored bridle-hide seat and back elements, secured by internal lengths of dowel. Carefully selected European oak is paired with Swedish oak bark–tanned leather, which softens and moulds over time, developing a natural patina through use.
