Tom Raffield – AMBLE HANGING SEAT

Amble means ‘to move slowly’. This graceful hanging seat, symbolises a moment to relax; three lengths of steam bent ash are scarf joined together and held in place by steam bent wooden slats. With the appearance of a perfect circle from the side, this unorthodox design balances from a rope above as if floating in space.

The Amble comes with or without the option of a luxuriously comfortable pure Cornish sheepskin rug in ivory.

Materials

Made from sustainably sourced English Ash. Finished with a blend of natural oils to give a matt finish. Suitable for indoor or outdoor undercover use only.

Fixings

The Amble comes with a 8 metre rope drop which can be cut and adjusted to length (if you require a longer length then please ask). It also includes a woodscrew eyebolt and a carabiner hook so it can be attached to a ceiling joist/similar.
