Caile Carver

The secret to the perfect dining chair was discovered about fifty years ago by my father, something he called the Glendale platform. This was a frame around which all manner of dining chairs could be fashioned, ingeniously designed, incredibly versatile and strong and still our preferred method for constructing beautiful dining chairs. Our Caile Carver is a slim legged, low profile dining chair with a slightly wider seat to accommodate its slim set back arms and based on the Glendale platform, so it has a strength that belies its slender appearance. It is very simple yet elegant and comfortable and comes in low and high backed versions each with a twin button detail. It can be made in a show timber of your choice and covered in any number of fabrics and is also available as a dining chair. We can also make you a fabulous dining table to any size from the same timber stock thus ensuring a perfect match.

Due to a physical limitation that prevents him from blowing his own trumpet Richard Baker is quite possibly the best furniture designer you’ve never heard of. Born in 1961, the year of the E-Type Jaguar and the son of a renowned English furniture maker, it was obvious from an early age that Richard had a burning desire not to do what his father did. However, after gaining a bunch of 5's in his CSE's, failing to finish box construction at technical college and getting fired from a men’s clothing emporium for wearing the wrong trousers his father decided he needed a course correction and put him to work in his factory sanding an infinite number of chair legs. So enamoured was Richard of his dusty new vocation that he ran away to Australia and thrived as a low achiever, he didn't look back, until he did. Having learnt the wisdom of actors, Richard returned to England and accepted his father's invisible cloak of credibility and so attired wrestled some cash from a hapless bank and with his wife Libby opened Rume, a furniture store with Richard as the creative director, which is a made up title that people without any qualifications use. Coming to terms with his imposter syndrome but not overcoming it Richard was surprised to discover that other people thought he was actually rather good at designing furniture, so he kept doing it and still does.
