The Marseille Chair by Durafurn is a timeless bentwood design that brings together heritage craftsmanship and modern durability in one effortlessly versatile package. Built around a solid ashwood timber frame and finished with a beautifully handwoven rattan backrest, the Marseille captures the enduring charm of classic European seating while meeting the practical demands of contemporary commercial and residential spaces.
At the heart of the chair is its solid ashwood construction — a timber long valued for its strength, natural flexibility, and attractive grain. This makes the Marseille both robust and graceful, able to withstand the rigours of daily use while retaining a refined, elegant silhouette. The woven rattan back adds warmth, texture, and artisanal character, creating a chair that feels welcoming and considered in any setting.
Versatility is the Marseille's defining strength. Its classic styling suits an exceptionally wide range of environments — from family dining rooms and home offices to cafés, restaurants, bars, clubs, and hospitality fit-outs. Available in a warm natural ash finish and a sophisticated matte black, it pairs beautifully with timber, marble, stone, and metal surfaces, allowing it to slot seamlessly into virtually any interior scheme.
Durability is built in. Every Marseille chair is finished with commercial-grade stains and lacquers, providing a tough, easy-to-clean surface that resists wear and stands up to high-traffic use. This contract-level construction means the chair performs reliably in demanding hospitality settings while offering homeowners exceptional longevity and value.
Thoughtful dimensions make the Marseille easy to specify and live with. Standing 865mm in height with a comfortable 445mm seat height, 495mm width, and 440mm depth, it fits neatly around standard tables and offers a supportive, relaxed seat that encourages people to settle in and stay. Its sensible footprint suits both intimate spaces and larger, high-density environments.
Designed for indoor use, the Marseille is at home in dining rooms, cafés, restaurants, bars, lounges, and beyond. Backed by Durafurn's trusted reputation for quality furniture, it offers the rare combination of timeless design, genuine comfort, and dependable durability. Whether you're outfitting a busy venue or furnishing a family home, the Marseille Chair delivers style and substance in equal measure — a single, adaptable seating solution for every space.
