Melrose Chair No. 1

The newest addition to the seating collection, this chair balances mid-century influences with meticulous hand-work. Built one piece at a time, it pairs a crisp hard maple frame with a sculpted black walnut seat and backrest. The floating seat design creates a weightless, suspended feel, while organic leg transitions and exposed dowel joinery highlight the structural details of individual studio production.
