Double Back Dining Chair by David J. Irwin
The Most obvious place to hang your jacket whilst eating is on the back of your chair. In most circumstances this works fine but a lot of the time the jacket can either fall off, discomfort the person in the chair or can be left creased and flattened. The back of the chair works well as a place to keep your jacket until you sit down. By adding a separate rail at the back of the chair which the user does not come into contact with the problem can be avoided. It can also act as a hanger for other items such as handbags for example.

Timber Stacker by David J. Irwin (LDF 2008 no 9)
At 100% Design London of September 2008 it was my camera that pointed me to the Timber Stacker Chair by David J. Irwin, nicely curved and nicely executed. Available as chair and as armchair via Deadgood.
