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!

Bespoke Tabletops and Bases - Camino Canary Wharf

Some gorgeous new photo's of our bespoke tables at Camino's Peurto Del Canario in Canary Wharf. Working with our friends at Sector Sixteen design, Defrae were asked to produce bespoke table tops to fit banquette seating matching the style of existing tables. We hope you agree the results look stunning.


DeFrae's bespoke tabletops were finished in a solid ash polished clear to match existing tops. The table tops were produced to a 40mm thickness with polished edge to match.


Our Dream Table bases finished the look with a black circular pedestal & column.  The Dream is a tulip-shaped table base available in either a polished or brushed stainless steel finish. The footprint of the base is 560mm Diameter. This base will support a maximum top size of 900mm x 900mm or 1300mm Diameter. Coffee and bar height options are also available making this a popular table base for bars, hotels and restaurants.

Bespoke Tabletops and Dream table bases complete a very contemporary look at this very popular bar in the heart of London's Canary Wharf.
