Low slung and wonderfully chunky, each chair features a thick slab seat, substantial trestle base, exposed pegged joints and a particularly striking castellated back. The slab seats are nicely finished with chamfered edges to the front and sides, a subtle detail that softens their otherwise robust construction. The visible construction and oversized joinery give them an almost architectural quality, while the rich mahogany has developed a warm, characterful patina. Exceptionally well made and reassuringly solid, these are unusual statement chairs with real presence. Equally at home in a contemporary or period interior. See less
