Thame Dining Chair Vintage Wood & Bison Bordeaux Seat (Pack of 6)

The Thame is a contract dining chair built for commercial hospitality use, combining a traditional 1940s-influenced silhouette with a construction spec suited to the demands of busy front-of-house environments. The frame is crafted from rubberwood with a slightly distressed vintage finish, and each chair is upholstered in Bison Bordeaux red vinyl — a warm, deep tone that works well in pub dining rooms, hotel restaurants, and independent bistros where a classic aesthetic is part of the offer.

In terms of durability, the Thame is built around reinforced mortise and tenon joinery, which is a meaningful detail in high-turnover seating. Chairs in commercial dining rooms are subjected to considerable lateral stress over time — guests leaning, staff stacking, covers turning multiple times a day — and well-constructed joinery is what separates chairs that last a season from those that hold up over years. The solid back adds structural rigidity and contributes to the upright, traditional look.

From a practical standpoint, the vinyl upholstery is easy to wipe down between covers, which matters in any table service operation. The chairs also conform to CRIB 5 fire resistance requirements, making them suitable for licensed and public hospitality premises where this is a compliance requirement.

• Rubberwood frame with distressed vintage finish suits period-style interiors
• Bison Bordeaux vinyl upholstery wipes clean quickly between covers
• Reinforced mortise and tenon joints for long-term structural reliability
• CRIB 5 fire resistance compliance for licensed hospitality venues
• Supplied as a pack of six for straightforward procurement

This chair is well suited to restaurants, pub dining areas, hotel dining rooms, and function spaces looking for a consistent, traditional aesthetic with a practical contract build. If you are furnishing a larger venue or need a different colourway or frame finish, it is worth having a conversation before ordering — the team can help confirm suitability for your specific environment and volume.
