Each chair is executed entirely in pine: the generously proportioned sculpted seat is carved to follow the human form with a fluid, almost geological contour, while the wide curved backrest and bold round-topped uprights give the chair a warmth and organic authority that no amount of furniture photography can fully capture. The cylindrical legs with their characteristic knuckle joints are a signature Daumiller construction detail. Every chair is an individual, its grain, knots, and amber tones forming a composition that is unique to pine alone.

This is a set that is genuinely difficult to source complete — six matching armchairs in consistent, original condition. They work equally well around a dining table or as a statement cluster in a living room or studio. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
