Fameg Bentwood Walnut Side Chairs in Beech Wood (Pack of 2)

These Fameg bentwood side chairs are produced in the tradition of the original Thonet manufacturing process — a method that has been producing reliable, structurally sound bentwood furniture for well over a century. Made from solid beech wood with a walnut finish, they offer a clean, classic profile that works comfortably across a range of hospitality settings without feeling overstated or trend-led.

In a busy front-of-house environment, durability matters as much as appearance. Beech is a hard, close-grained timber that handles the daily stresses of commercial use — being shifted, stacked, and sat in repeatedly — without the flex or wear you tend to see in lighter or engineered-wood alternatives. The bentwood construction adds further structural integrity, particularly at the joints, which are typically the first point of failure in cheaper chairs.

From an operational standpoint, these chairs offer a few practical advantages worth noting:

• Solid beech construction resists the racking and loosening common in high-turnover venues
• Walnut finish suits both contemporary and traditional interior schemes
• Lightweight enough at 5.1kg each for easy repositioning between covers
• Sold in pairs, simplifying ordering for smaller refurbishments or topping up existing stock
• No upholstery to maintain, clean, or replace over time

At 885mm high with a seat height of 460mm, these are standard dining chair proportions suited to conventional table heights. They are intended for indoor use. If your venue operates in a covered outdoor terrace or high-humidity environment, it is worth discussing finish and material suitability before ordering. For venues requiring a fully upholstered seat pad or arm support, other options in the Fameg range may be more appropriate.

These chairs are well suited to independent restaurants, cafes, tea rooms, bistros, and hotel dining rooms where a traditional aesthetic is preferred and longevity under daily use is a priority. For larger refurbishments or mixed chair-and-table specifications, it is worth getting in touch — our team can help ensure consistency across your seating scheme.
