VERY GOOD & PROPER Canteen Utility Chair

Measure twice, cut once

We came across this chair by Ed Carpenter of Very Good and Proper when it was first introduced to the Canteen restaurant In Spitialfelds.

The simple chair goes hand in hand with the simple British food philosophy of the Canteen Restaurant. Now 4 restaurants later Canteen has brought out a book called Great British Food where you can recreate some British classics .



Last year we were pleased to see that the canteen chair and table was launched  at The Dock during London Design Festival.

Inspired by the ubiquitous post war school chair. Powder coated steel frame married to a pressed beech plywood seat and back. Light weight, stack able, with our without seat pad.

100%Design

Last Wednesday saw us head down to 100% design.

Based in London, 100% Design is the UK's leading contemporary interiors event for the contract market, attracting key manufacturers, star designers and major specifiers from the UK and overseas. There is no other show that connects the worlds of architecture and design with innovative, contemporary interior products, creativity and an exciting mix of new and established talent.

We were happy to see one of our favourite Spitalfields restaurants Canteen. We love their approach to great British food and loved this pop up version of their restaurant for 100% design.

We tucked into their Haddock and mash potato with greens,which was to die for. The furniture showed of Canteen true understated style.
