The chair features a solid maple seat with McCobb’s distinctive up-turned “shovel” sides and a sculptural slatted backrest, all set on a slender black iron base. The profile is wonderfully light and airy, but the construction feels sturdy. The maple has a warm tobacco tone that shows off the grain, and the minimalist iron frame keeps the look clean and architectural. It works beautifully as functional art. This piece stands out in a space and pairs well with both vintage and contemporary pieces. See less
