Delivery Information

Price Match

The Austin is a solid rubber wood dining chair with a shaped Helbeck saddle ash seat, supplied as a pack of two. It sits within the vintage dining category and offers a straightforward, unfussy aesthetic that works across a range of front-of-house styles — from traditional restaurant settings to industrial-influenced casual dining spaces — without dominating the interior.

In a busy hospitality environment, the combination of a rubber wood frame and an ash seat holds up well under the daily demands of a working dining room. The rubber wood construction gives the frame a useful balance of rigidity and manageable weight, which matters when staff are repositioning chairs during service or resetting covers at pace. The ash saddle seat is easy to wipe down between sittings, which suits higher-turnover operations where speed of turnaround is a priority.

  • Rubber wood frame offers structural stability with a manageable chair weight
  • Saddle-profile ash seat wipes clean quickly between covers
  • Versatile vintage aesthetic suits traditional, industrial, and contemporary interiors
  • Sold in pairs, which simplifies ordering for phased floor plan additions
  • Compact footprint supports tighter table configurations where floor space is at a premium

It is worth being straightforward about where the Austin works best and where it may not. As an unupholstered chair, it is well suited to venues where guests are seated for a moderate dining duration — a typical restaurant or café meal. For venues with longer average cover times, or where guest comfort expectations lean toward a more relaxed or lounge-style experience, an upholstered seat pad option or a fully padded chair category is likely to be a better fit.

If you are furnishing a larger space or want to think through how the Austin sits alongside other seating styles in your layout, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit to an order.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Austin chair suitable for high-turnover casual dining restaurants?

Yes, it works well in that context. The ash seat is straightforward to clean between covers, and the rubber wood frame is robust enough for the regular repositioning that comes with busy service. Where average cover times are longer or comfort expectations are higher, an upholstered chair category is likely to be a more appropriate choice.

Can the Austin chair be used outdoors or in covered terrace areas?

The Austin is designed for indoor front-of-house use. Neither rubber wood nor an unfinished ash seat is well suited to prolonged exposure to moisture or outdoor conditions, and using the chair in those environments would likely shorten its service life considerably.

How many chairs would I need to order for a standard dining room layout?

That depends on your cover count, table configuration, and whether you want any reserve stock for damage or loss over time. Because the Austin is sold in pairs, it is straightforward to scale your order to the number you need — and if you want to talk through quantities alongside other seating styles, the team can help you work out what makes sense for your floor plan.
