The design is defined by its striking "bundled" base—a sculptural cluster of four intersecting slats that provides exceptional stability while creating a sense of rotational movement beneath the thick, circular top. By avoiding nails and glue in favor of complex wood-on-wood joinery and exposed interlocking connections, Chapo highlights the structural integrity of the piece, turning the functional assembly of the timber into its primary decorative feature.

(There are no maker's marks on these chairs as is consistent with the design.) See less
