The piece, in detail
The design

A dining chair, drawn again

The Thalya is a modern, graphic remake of a classic dining chair, combining soft, feminine lines with advanced plastic manufacturing technology. It is designed by Patrick Jouin and originated in Italy in 2008. The model is now discontinued.

Construction

Hollow legs, a diamond lattice

Gas-injection technology leaves the legs hollow, which is what keeps the lines light. A diamond reticular pattern runs across the seat and the backrest, part of the moulding rather than applied to it. The polycarbonate is smoked, so the chair holds a brown cast and still passes light.

Living with it

Indoors, outdoors, stacked

The chair suits indoor or outdoor use and stacks easily, which helps when a table has to grow for an evening. This example is an untouched original and has been in the collection since 2010. One is available.

Care and delivery

Delivery and returns

We deliver nationwide with a specialist furniture courier, blanket wrapped, carried in and placed in the room you choose. Within North East England we deliver ourselves, usually inside the week, and collection is welcome by arrangement.

If a piece arrives and does not suit the room, tell us within fourteen days. We will arrange collection and refund what you paid. All we ask is that the piece comes back in the condition it arrived.

Care

Vintage furniture is straightforward to live with. Keep pieces out of direct sun and away from radiators, wipe with a barely damp cloth, and wax timber once a year. Every piece comes with care notes written for its own materials.

Viewings

The collection is kept in North East England and viewings are by appointment, most days including weekends. Bring the room's measurements and take your time with the piece.

Questions

Can it be used outside

Yes. It suits indoor or outdoor use and it stacks, so it can come in for the winter. Prolonged direct sunlight is the one thing to avoid with any polycarbonate chair.

Is the model still made

No. Thalya is discontinued. One example is available and it is an untouched original.

What is the pattern on the seat

A diamond reticular pattern across the seat and the backrest, part of the moulding rather than applied to it. The legs are hollow, which is what keeps the lines light.

How does buying work

Every piece is one of one, so there is no basket. Send an enquiry and we will reply the same day where we can, usually with more photographs and the condition report. When you are ready, payment is by bank transfer and we arrange delivery.

Can you hold a piece

Yes, for forty eight hours while you measure the room. Beyond that we take a small refundable deposit and mark the piece reserved until you decide.

How is delivery arranged

Nationwide by specialist furniture courier, blanket wrapped, carried in and placed in the room you choose. Within North East England we deliver ourselves, usually inside the week.

Can we see a piece first

Yes. Viewings are by appointment in North East England, most days including weekends. Bring the room's measurements.

What condition are the pieces in

Ready for daily use unless the listing says otherwise. Every piece is checked before it is listed, photographed honestly with any wear shown, and sold with a written condition report. Anything repaired or replaced is stated plainly on the piece's page.

Do you buy furniture

We do. If you have a piece by one of the designers of the last century, or think you might, send photographs through the selling page and we will come back with a view and, where it suits the collection, an offer.

Collector words

The chair arrived exactly as described, and better than the photographs, which were the reason I rang. The paperwork that came with it answered every question I had.
A collector, Ball chair, delivered to Edinburgh
They talked me out of the piece I wanted and into the piece the room needed. Right on both counts.
A first time buyer, Sideboard, County Durham
Solid, clean and honestly described. The condition report matched the piece down to the small marks it listed.
