Our Approach

Distinctive chairs, hand-crafted in Ireland

Uncompromising Quality & Design

At the Chair Club, we’re devoted to design. Coming up with quirky, eye-catching chairs is what we’re about, but we don’t feel that quality has to suffer at any point along the journey towards that perfect end product. Our chairs reflect the highest standard in craft and finish. With one of our pieces, you’re not just purchasing a chair — you’re making a glorious statement.

We offer a professional service to commercial clients and interior designers, as well as to the general public. We take great pride in our work and in the satisfaction of every client, because we believe that their happiness is the path to our next exciting project.

Handmade in Ireland

  • All our chairs are hand built here in Ireland from the inside out.
  • Our chairs have beech frames and are solid to ensure that they last generations.
  • We also use springs in the seats, the arms and the backs.
  • We stain the wood of our hand-polished legs before coating them, so dents or marks don’t flash up if they get a knock.
  • We employ timeless crafting methods while incorporating the latest techniques in materials — but only if, in our opinion, they bring improvements to the designs.

Our Origins

Hi, I’m Eoin Kavanagh, chair designer and founder of The Chair Club. As an artist with a background in design, I once joined a small but traditional upholstery workshop to learn about the trade. Knowing this, people often asked my advice about furniture. I would do some research and come back with somewhere to send them to find a suite or a chair that met their needs. Increasingly, I found the task difficult and frustrating, because, frankly, if you’re looking for something a little bit different, you’re flat out of luck.

So, I sat down with my sketch book, and I made a pot of coffee, and I thought about what I would like to see in a chair or a settee. The list got pretty long. I got wired on coffee and the sketch book soon became full. I realised that I was inspired to go on a journey, and The Chair Club was my exciting destination.

Custom Chair Design & Commissions

All of our chairs are available in custom colours and fabrics, enabling you to match the perfect chair to the right spot. Our pieces can be developed for high-use or public areas, with a large range of durable materials available.

We also love new ideas! If you have a vision of the chair of your dreams — or even if you just saw a spectacular chair in a movie and want us to recreate it — we’re just the people to make it a reality for you.
