OUR CHAIRS
Discover our exquisitely handcrafted chairs
All our chairs are designed and handcrafted in our workshop just outside Edinburgh, Scotland.
From dining chairs and lounge chairs to loveseats and benches, every piece in the Glencairn collection is an original design — conceived with equal attention to comfort, proportion and longevity. Whether you are drawn to the classic spindle silhouette of the Winzer, the clean minimalism of the Novanta or the sculptural curves of the Clava, each chair is handcrafted from the finest solid hardwoods and upholstered in premium fabrics.
You can order a chair exactly as shown, have it tailored to your preferred timber, fabric or dimensions, or commission an entirely new design through our bespoke commissioning service.
A chair is the most personal piece of furniture in any room. It should fit you as well as it fits your space.

The Modella Dining Chair’s back rest can come in a variety of different configurations: one single thick top rail all the way through to three slim cross rails - see image 7 (computer render).

Our Winzer dining chair seamlessly marries the classic aesthetic of the traditional Windsor chair with the clean lines and functional elegance of Danish modern design.
Each chair features an exquisitely hand-shaped curved backrest that references the iconic silhouette of the Windsor chair, providing both comfort and support.
The spindles are elegantly tapered, offering a nod to traditional craftsmanship while ensuring a contemporary feel. The seat, upholstered in soft but high performing wool, is wide and inviting, reflecting the practicality of Danish design.
The turned legs are hand-sculpted into the rails to achieve a seamless transition.
Handcrafted from a range of handpicked premium hardwoods, each chair is finished with a natural oil wax that highlights the rich grain of the wood, ensuring that every piece is unique.
The Winzer dining chair not only serves as a functional piece of furniture but also as a statement of exquisite craftsmanship, making it a perfect addition to both traditional and modern dining environments.
It is shown here in sumptuous walnut and upholstered in Bute Fabric’s soft, high performance recycled wool melton.

The Clava dining chair gets its name from the elegant but lethal looking back legs - ‘clava’ meaning club or cudgel in English. These beautifully hand-sculpted legs flow seamlessly into the curved back rest and give the Clava dining chair its distinctive look.
Handcrafted in Edinburgh from the finest hardwoods, this dining chair combines enduring strength with refined simplicity. Each piece is individually shaped and hand-finished to highlight the wood’s natural grain and warm tones.
Designed for everyday use and family gatherings, the Clava offers a supportive, ergonomically comfortable profile and outstanding build quality which will ensure it lasts for generations.
The seat is upholstered in premium recycled wool melton. A soft fabric in a versatile melange palette from Bute Fabric’s Magic Collection, it has been chosen for its durability, comfort, and subtle texture.
Available in a range of hardwood and upholstery colours to complement your dining setting, the Clava dining chair brings artisan quality to the heart of the home.

The Winzer Dining Bench brings the distinctive design language of our Winzer Dining Chair to a beautifully crafted bench — creating a cohesive, considered seating solution for the modern dining room.
Like its companion chair, the Winzer Dining Bench draws on the timeless silhouette of the traditional Windsor chair, reinterpreted through the lens of Danish modern design. The elegantly tapered handrails, hand-sculpted turned legs and seamlessly joined rails are all signature Winzer details, here extended into a generously proportioned bench that seats two to three comfortably.
The seat is wide, inviting and deeply upholstered — softening the clean architectural lines of the frame and adding warmth to any dining space.
Handcrafted in Edinburgh from solid hardwood, each bench is finished with a natural oil wax that enhances the grain of the timber and ensures every piece is entirely unique.
The Winzer Dining Bench is available upholstered in Bute Fabric — the acclaimed Scottish textile, woven on the Isle of Bute from soft, high-performance recycled wool — or in a range of premium Italian leathers for a more contemporary or luxurious finish.
As with all Glencairn Furniture pieces, the bench is available in a range of premium hardwoods including oak, walnut, mahogany, cherry and ash, and in a wide choice of Bute Fabric colours from the Magic collection.
The perfect companion to the Winzer Dining Chair — or a striking standalone piece alongside any dining table. Browse our dining chair collection or get in touch to discuss a bespoke version tailored to your exact dimensions and specification.

Description:
We set ourselves the challenge to design a chair which had as few angles as possible but didn’t compromise on comfort or looks. The result is the Novanta Dining Chair.
Its striking simplicity belies the carefully thought out proportions and ratios which combine to achieve the three ingredients of a successful chair - comfort, strength and looks.
The gently pitched back support - a mere 10 degrees - is the only angle other than 90 degrees in the chair’s design. This provides optimal lumbar support, promoting healthy posture for a relaxed dining experience.
The Novanta Dining Chair is meticulously handcrafted from solid European oak, ensuring durability and longevity that surpasses mass manufactured standards. It is also available in a range of beautiful hardwoods, including walnut, white ash and cherry.
The chair's seat is upholstered in sumptuous antique tan vegan leather, offering not only a luxurious touch but also ensuring easy maintenance and excellent resistance to stains.
An armless version of the Novanta Dining Chair is also available upon request.
Whether gracing a chic and modern dining room or complementing a more traditional aesthetic, our Novanta Dining Chair effortlessly elevates any space with its timeless beauty and exceptional craftsmanship.
