House Note · About this piece

Bending wood is an old and patient craft. In the nineteenth century Thonet steamed solid beech into curves that made the café chair possible, and in the 1930s Finnish makers moulded thin layers of birch into shapes no plank could manage. The bentwood curve has been a mark of good, honest furniture ever since.

This chair puts a single curved shell of bentwood, finished in a smooth wood veneer, around the back of a round seat. Inside that shell the back and the plump drum seat are upholstered in bouclé, a looped yarn with a soft, nubbly surface. It has no arms, and stands on four short wooden legs with protective foot pins. It arrives assembled apart from the legs.

Use it as a reading chair in a bedroom corner, a statement seat in a hallway where you sit to take off your shoes, or pull several around a kitchen table for long, unhurried suppers.
