Celebrating 10 Years of the Glenmore Fireside Chair

For a decade, the Glenmore Fireside Chair has been more than just a seat; it’s been a favourite for evenings by the fire, weekend coffee moments, and cosy chats with family and friends. Since its launch, this classic piece has stood out for its comfort, craftsmanship, and timeless style. And as we celebrate its 10th anniversary, it’s time to look closer at what makes this chair truly special — from its design heritage to the fabrics that bring it to life.

The Glenmore was built with comfort and posture in mind. Its deep, cushioned wings wrap around you and gently support your head and shoulders, while the high back and seat work together to keep your neck, back, and hips aligned and supported. Whether you’re reading, resting, or simply relaxing, this chair supports the way you feel from top to toe.

You can choose from classic features like plain or button back styling, sprung cushions, and multiple leg finishes — meaning each Glenmore can be tailored to suit your home and your lifestyle.

One of the reasons the Glenmore feels so special is the fabrics it’s upholstered in, especially the wool options. Wool isn’t just beautiful, it’s a smart choice for furniture that’s designed to last.

Why Wool Works So Well on Upholstery

Wool has a host of natural benefits that make it ideal for chairs like the Glenmore:

• Durable and long‑lasting – Wool fibres are strong and resilient, meaning your chair keeps looking great even after years of use.
• Temperature regulating – Wool helps keep you warm when it’s cold, but can also feel cool and comfortable in warmer weather because of how the fibres interact with moisture and air.
• Eco‑friendly – Wool is a natural, renewable, and biodegradable fibre, perfect if you’re choosing sustainable materials for your home.

In short, wool gives the Glenmore a timeless look and a comfort you can feel — season after season.

Woven at one of Britain’s historic woollen mills, Moon Solway Check comes from a long tradition of expert textile craftsmanship. The fabric draws inspiration from classic country house aesthetics, balancing heritage patterns with enduring quality.

The checked design works beautifully with the Glenmore’s classic silhouette, giving the chair a welcoming and lived‑in feel that fits both modern and traditional interiors. Each colourway, from soft teals to warm ambers, brings its own personality, inviting texture and understated style into your space.
