Oak, Teak & Upholstered Seating, Handcrafted by Ethnicraft

A chair for the corner of the room you actually want to sit in. This is the full Ethnicraft lounge chair and armchair range at Pod Furniture — sculptural seating in solid oak, teak, upholstery and outdoor-ready finishes, for reading corners, living rooms and shaded gardens. From the deep, upholstered Ease to the leather-and-oak Eye, the linen Weave and the outdoor Jack, each chair is made from sustainably sourced materials and, according to Ethnicraft, handcrafted to last for generations.

These are accent chairs as much as everyday seating — designed to be seen from every angle and to hold their own in a room rather than disappear into it. Whether you want something soft to sink into or a wood-framed piece with a lighter presence, there's a shape here for the way you like to relax.

Choosing Your Ethnicraft Lounge Chair

• Deep & upholstered — the Ease leads here, with wide solid armrests and a deep seat upholstered in Italy. The Weave adds a linen-blend cover and removable, washable slipcover; the Barrow offers a compact upholstered seat on a metal base in four colours.
• Wood-framed — the Eye pairs solid oak with Sienna leather and a wool-fibre seat cushion; the Roan is a teak re-edition of a 1930s design, at its best in pairs.
• Outdoor — the Jack Outdoor Lounge Chair comes in teak, teak black or white aluminium, with quick-dry foam and a choice of three cushion colours, for indoor or outdoor use.
• Not sure which suits your space? Book a free consultation and we'll help you match a chair to your room — in person in Douglas, Cork, or by video call.

Ethnicraft Lounge Chairs - FAQs

Which Ethnicraft lounge chairs can be used outdoors?

The Jack Outdoor Lounge Chair is made for both indoor and outdoor use, in teak, teak black or white powder-coated aluminium, with quick-dry foam cushions. The Outdoor Lounge Chair is also built in teak for outdoor use. The rest of the collection — Ease, Weave, Barrow, Eye and Roan — is designed for indoor use. The Roan in particular is indoor only.

Which lounge chair has washable covers?

The Weave. It has a removable slipcover suitable for gentle machine washing or dry-cleaning — the most practical choice in the collection for a busy household. Refer to the care label for your specific fabric.

What's the most comfortable Ethnicraft lounge chair for sinking into?

If deep, soft seating is what you're after, look at the Ease — it has a deep, supportive seat and wide solid armrests, built around high-density foam and upholstered in Italy. The Weave also offers a deep seat with generous cushions. 

What materials do the chairs come in?

The range spans solid oak (Eye), teak (Roan, Jack, Outdoor), upholstery (Ease, Weave, Barrow) and mixed frames such as the Barrow's metal base. Cushion and cover options vary by model — the Jack offers three cushion colours, the Barrow four upholstery colours, and the Eye is finished in Sienna leather. Each product page lists the detail.

Can I order the Jack for both indoors and outdoors?

Yes. The Jack is rated for indoor and outdoor use, comes with a floor protector, and requires no assembly. Its quick-dry foam makes it practical for a covered patio or garden as well as a sunroom or living space.

Is the Roan suitable for a pair?

Yes — Ethnicraft note it works especially well in pairs, and it suits both home and hospitality settings. Its compact, grounded form makes two of them a natural fit either side of a table or fireplace.
