Comfort Meets Style

Suitable for:

The Dartington is a traditional rise and recline chair with classic wingback styling, hand-pleated scroll arms, and a timeless look that suits your home. It is a supportive chair designed to help you sit comfortably, change position more easily, and stand up with greater confidence.

Traditional wingback design with hand-pleated scroll arms and wings, giving you a classic chair style with powered support.
Powered rise and recline functions, supporting controlled transitions between sitting, reclining, and standing.
Choice of backrest support options, so you can select the comfort and postural support that feels right for you.
Tilt function, sometimes called Tilt-in-Space, that keeps the seat-to-back angle consistent while tilting the chair to support pelvic stability and pressure redistribution.
Back recline adjustment that changes the seat-to-back angle, which can open the hip angle for comfort in rest positions.
Pressure management options available, depending on the set-up you need, especially if you sit for longer periods.
Configuration based on your posture and pressure management needs, so the chair set-up matches how you sit and how you move.
