Teahouse Chair
Made by Ceccotti Collezioni
Designed by Christophe Pillet
The Teahouse Chair is Christophe Pillet's meditation on the ritual of gathering. Designed for Ceccotti Collezioni and conceived as a companion to the Teahouse Table, it occupies the space between dining chair and lounge armchair with deliberate ease.
Its solid wood structure carries a poplar plywood seat panel veneered in wood, and the silhouette reads as essential without being sparse. Every joint and profile is intentionally resolved. The detail that defines the chair is its leather cushions, which are not fixed to the frame but attached by elegant straps drawn directly from the language of watchmaking. The gesture is small but telling: it speaks to Pillet's background in fashion and product design, where the accessory is never an afterthought.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who designed the Teahouse Chair?
The Teahouse Chair was designed by French designer Christophe Pillet, known for work that bridges product design, fashion, and architecture. His background gives the chair its distinctive attention to accessory-level detail, particularly the watch-strap-inspired leather fastenings.
Is the Teahouse Chair suitable for use at a dining table?
Yes. Pillet conceived it as a lounge-dining armchair, designed specifically for long, relaxed sittings at the table. Its proportions work in formal dining rooms, private meeting spaces, and residential interiors where comfort and character carry equal weight.
How are the leather cushions attached to the frame?
The leather cushions are not permanently fixed. They are secured to the solid wood frame with straps referencing the design language of watch bands, making them removable and contributing to the chair's quietly crafted, accessory-like finish.
Where is Ceccotti Collezioni furniture made?
Ceccotti Collezioni has been producing fine wood furniture in Tuscany, Italy since 1948. Each piece is handcrafted in their workshop, where traditional joinery and finishing techniques are applied to designs by internationally recognized architects and designers.
Can the Teahouse Chair be customized in different materials or finishes?
The chair is made to order, which allows for configurations in different wood species, veneer finishes, and leather selections. Specifying these options is best done in consultation with a design professional familiar with the Ceccotti Collezioni range.
