A fine example of 1970s British craftsmanship, this mid-century teak hall seat was produced by Parker Knoll as part of their celebrated Nathan range — renowned for its elegant design, quality materials, and exceptional attention to detail. Parker Knoll, a prestigious British furniture maker established in the 1930s, became known for creating beautifully crafted pieces that effortlessly balanced comfort, form, and function.

Expertly cleaned & restored this piece is presented in superb condition. Its sleek lines and warm teak tones are complemented by the signature Nathan squares on the single cupboard door — a distinctive design hallmark of the range. Thoughtfully designed for both style and practicality, it features a smooth drawer with a circular wooden knob, an open lower shelf ideal for shoes or baskets, and a side cupboard offering useful enclosed storage. The fixed seat has velour fabric upholstery, providing both comfort and a refined contrast to the rich teak grain.

Compact and beautifully proportioned, this hall seat is perfect for smaller hallways, porches, or entryways, offering stylish storage without overwhelming your space. To the inside of the cupboard door, it retains its original Nathan label, confirming both its build quality and authentic provenance — a mark of true mid-century craftsmanship.
