Are you sitting comfortably?

A statement chair can instantly update your home and offers the chance to go bold with your decor. Add some chutzpah to any room with our stock of eclectic feature chairs - from contemporary to classic, we've got something to suit every taste. But we don't just source, we also upcycle, recycle and repurpose here at Stax - here's our top five statement favourites we've found or made just for you.

1. Tractor seat bar stool

Our design team have been going all Max Mc Murdo on us, and look what they've made! A vintage cast iron tractor seat manufactured by Davey Sleep & Co, Plymouth has been re-sprayed in satin black and mounted on a custom made base of reclaimed Jarrah, an Australian hardwood. Eye-catching in any kitchen, or standing desk home office.

2. Dentist chair

Unique, and so comfy - say ahhh to our vintage dentist chair! Perfect for a reading nook, study or mancave. Or maybe you have a barber shop or salon with an industrial vibe? This would make a pretty spectacular statement piece to showoff your style. Uber popular with collectors, these don't turn up so often, so don't miss out.

3. Farmhouse settle

You don't need to actually own a country farmhouse - this superb settle fits in any abode. It's rich naturally aged patina perfectly sets off cool modern neutrals in the breakfast room, hall or boot-room. 

4. Sea Vixen ejector seat

Every closet secret agent needs an ejector seat right? Well, even if you're not a wannabee 007, you can't fail to be wowed by this iconic ejector seat we have in stock. Taken from the Sea Vixen Fighter Jet - a 1950s/60s British two-seat jet fighter, this piece has been superbly recon'd in scarlet vinyl.

5. Handmade throne

The Stax designers have been at it again - this time refashioning old ceiling joists into a rustic and chunky throne style seat using 100% reclaimed pine.
