The MT Club Chair was designed by Very Good & Proper for the Merchant's Tavern restaurant in Shoreditch, east London, and put into production last year.

The designers have created a family of chairs, which includes four base options for the moulded foam shell.

"The shell is designed for comfort, and can be used in both commercial and domestic interiors," said brand director Ed Carpenter. "It functions well as a dining, side or petite armchair where space is limited."

Along with the original bent plywood legs for the dining chair, a set of shorter supports in the same material turns the design into a lounge seat.

Two tubular steel bases have also been introduced. The first features a frame that extends up from the legs to wrap around the back of the shell, while the second comprises four simple supports.
