The Nave Wooden Chapel & Church Armchair is a traditional all-wooden chair designed to assist elderly and infirm members of the congregation when sitting and rising. Often specified as 10–20% of a church’s overall chair replacement, armchairs are commonly positioned at one or both ends of a row. It pairs seamlessly with the Nave Stacking Wooden Chapel & Church Chair (click to view) and can stack on top of standard chair stacks, ensuring flexibility while maintaining a consistent, heritage-appropriate aesthetic throughout the nave.
Timeless elegance for the congregation, the Nave Wooden Chapel & Church Armchair is the perfect blend of tradition, craftsmanship, and functionality. Designed to echo the heritage of traditional pew and bench seating, this all-wooden chair offers a warm, timeless aesthetic while providing the flexibility required for modern church spaces.

Carefully crafted to complement the architectural beauty of historic and listed churches, the Nave Armchair is an ideal choice for spaces that require seating solutions that respect and enhance their heritage. Unlike contemporary metal-framed chairs, its solid beechwood construction maintains the traditional character of a sacred setting while allowing for practical reconfiguration when needed. The nave is the heart of any church, where the congregation gathers in fellowship and worship, and this armchair reflects that significance — offering a design that promotes both unity and reverence. Its sturdy construction, timeless style, and adaptability make it an excellent option for churches seeking to balance tradition with functionality.
