Initial Concept
The concept for the Magnus dining chairs was comfort - chairs which complement our range of dining tables and yet provide somewhere comfortable to linger over dessert, to partake in conversations, to connect with family and friends.
As a father and son founding team, David and Adam Light understood the need to have comfortable chairs around a beautiful dining table at which everyone could gather and simply be together. The initial idea for the Magnus dining chairs combines this need with their proud tradition of valuing the authenticity of materials to craft quality furniture, designed for living.
Sourcing of Materials
At IconByDesign our aim is to produce sustainable and beautiful furniture, designed for life and to last generations. The solid American oak which makes up the bulk of the Magnus dining chairs is sourced from American forests which embrace sustainable principles - meaning the wood is sustainably harvested, works to restore the ecosystem, implements a replanning process, undertakes consistent environmental monitoring, and respects the land rights of indigenous peoples.
Oak is also used because it's hardy and it lasts - it has a natural strength which makes it ideal for the interior home environment. Unlike veneered furniture, there's less damage from wear and tear so you don't have to throw it out to replace it with something equally replaceable.
Our solid wood furniture is a provider of carbon storage and therefore has a positive effect on the planet by containing carbon, and its regrowth in sustainable managed forests adds to the carbon emission reduction.
By crafting our solid American oak furniture, such as the Magnus dining chairs, from wood we are doing the best we can on the planet - making pieces that last through the generations and rejecting the tread of flat-pack, cheap, disposable, replaceable veneer furniture.
