Constructed from solid wood, the chair features a gently arched slat back, sculpted saddle seat, and elegantly curved rockers that create both visual rhythm and exceptional comfort.

The arms and supports are fluidly carved, with thoughtfully integrated joinery that highlights the maker’s craftsmanship rather than conceals it. The vertical back slats taper subtly, creating a dynamic silhouette that feels both architectural and organic. The warm, natural finish enhances the grain and emphasizes the chair’s sculptural presence from every angle.

Strongly influenced by the work of Sam Maloof and the American Studio Furniture movement, this chair is best appreciated as a functional work of art—equally suited for daily use or as a statement piece in a curated interior. See less
