DeFrae vs The Big Chill House: The 2013 remix

DeFrae have been working with the uber cool Big Chill bars since 2011.  Its great to work with such a great team and big thanks to Lucy Tauber and all the guys at Big Chill Kings Cross.

The X-chair and Paris side chairs dominate the bar areas making this feel like a bar to welcome London's trend setters and night life lovers.



The X-Chair looks great with a green shell and anthracite X marked in the centre of the chair.  One of our personal favourites from the Milan Furniture Fair 2012.  The name comes from the distinctive sign on the polypropylene shell. The X is not only striking but is extremely versatile with several kinds of frames available in different finishes.  



The X Chair is available in a range of colours including yellow, white, green, beige and grey.  The X Chair is also stackable making it perfect for clearing away for evening revellers.
The X is also available with a matching barstool.



Working delightfully in contrast to the X Chair is the Paris in a mixture of baby blue, yellow, lime green and black.  The Paris is a retro-looking side chair - great for funky bars, restaurants and hotels. This item is held in stock for immediate delivery and is also available in a black finish.


The Big Chill House is a large Victorian Pub in the heart of London's King's Cross. Its recent restyling has left the locals and travellers gawping through its huge windows, in complete surprise! The team behind the Big Chill brand have set to work and created a super cool space for everyone to enjoy and one where you can celebrate The Big Chill festival spirit, all year round!
