About the work
Side Chair is an invitation to slow down. Constructed from sweet chestnut, ash, willow and oak, the piece combines traditional craftsmanship with a deep respect for the natural history of its materials.
The surface bears the subtle markings of woodworm, traces of a former life that have been preserved rather than erased. A woven willow back rises like a stand of young saplings, while a discreet side shelf offers space for a favourite book or evening glass.
Thoughtful, practical and quietly expressive, the chair reflects Steve Baines' belief that beauty often lies not in perfection, but in the stories carried within the material itself.
