When I was last in England I visited a number of cathedrals which used the Howe 40/4 chair. These included Christopher Wren's St Paul's Cathedral in London and Salisbury Cathedral (pictured above). I'm also aware that Southwark Cathedral and Ely Cathedral also use these chairs. While in Oxford I really liked the welcoming entrance placed on St Aldate's church and their flexible interior (pictured below). The design of the Howe 40/4 chair is from the early 1960s and a real classic and very beautiful chair. Check out their website
here.
They look great, are they comfortable?
ReplyDeleteI understand from reviews that they are surprisingly comfotable given they have no cushioning. I suppose it is an example of a chair being just as suitable as a pew for a church building!
ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful church.it's full of peace.
