Chairs

Our chair designs combine comfort, beauty, and durability. Unlike most factory-made chairs, we use true mortise and tenon joinery to craft a chair that will last decades. Carefully planned curves and angles are not only graceful, but also provide excellent support. Meticulously selected woods and hand rubbed finishes make these chairs as attractive as they are functional. "Lifetime" cold-cured foam and cotton batting on upholstered seats offer long life as well as exceptional comfort.

Cantilevered Chair—40"H x 18"W x21"D. Santos mahogany. This design uses cantilever construction to stay upright with only two legs. The back and the carved solid wood seat are both curved for comfort.

Dining Chair with Leather Upholstered Seats—39"H x 18 1/2"W x 21"D. Jatoba (Brazilian Cherry) with cocobolo slats. Subtle curves and dramatic figure in both of the component woods make these chairs an instant topic of conversation.

Cantilevered Armchair—40"H x 22"W x21"D. Jatoba. An armchair version of our cantilevered chair. Wide, comfortable arms are secured with curved supports joined into the legs.

Tall Chair with Upholstered Seat—39"H x 19"W x 20"D. Solid cherry with bubinga and ebony inlays, this chair combines formal and casual design elements.  The legs are tapered, and the back as well as the rear legs are angled to provide comfort and stability. The four back slats are mortised into rails which are gently curved to comfortably support the occupant. Four stretchers below the seat add structural integrity. Finished with a durable, hand-rubbed varnish.
Small Chair with Contoured Seat—35 1/2"H x 17 1/2"W x 19 1/2"D. Solid cherry with maple and bubinga inlays. The two inlaid back slats curve to match the curved back rails. The solid cherry seat is contoured, making for an exceptionally comfortable chair. Finished in a hand-rubbed, polymerized linseed oil, this piece will continue to darken and develop the rich patina which makes cherry a favorite wood for fine furniture.
Dining Chairs with Upholstered Seats—39"H x 18 1/2"W x 21"D. "Rustic" eastern  maple. The rear legs of these graceful chairs curve in two dimensions, and fan outward at the top of the back.

The wide back slats, angled  for comfort, show off the dramatic figure of the myrtle. The black leather upholstered seat is comfortable and practical.
