Padded leather sling seat – The original Highgate seat. Natural vegetable-tanned
hide lightly padded and tension-fitted across the frame with contrast stitching.
The feel improves with use.

Padded fabric sling seat – Lightly padded woven canvas textile offering a quieter,
more natural character on the same frame.

Solid oak seat – Precision CNC-machined from the same AA-grade FSC
European oak as the frame. Grain-matched and oiled to a continuous finish. Slots
cleanly into the frame and sits flush within it.

The leather and fabric sling seats both use Tamart’s signature tension-fitting

mechanism, which allows comfort and posture to be adjusted and reset by the

user. Additional seat inserts are available to order separately, allowing specifiers

to offer clients seasonal variation, material choice within a single project, or a

straightforward refresh without purchasing new chairs.
