Our barrel form, fit to your body, sits atop four hand-turned and tapered legs. As the back band meets the line of the arm and joins the face frame, a three-way mitered joint unites each element. Converging to a point, the hand-cut joint emphasizes the attention to detail we value in every piece.

Upholstery is always available in customer's own material; please contact us for details. If your time frame is a constraint, please be in touch to discuss possibilities.
This chair, as well as the loveseat version of the design, is available for customization in any of our responsibly sourced North American hardwoods, including storm downed Kentucky Walnut and Ash from dead standing trees killed by the virulent emerald ash borer, a type of beetle decimating American forests. If ordering multiple chairs, please inquire for volume, lead-time and cost.
Furniture is both an aesthetic object and one that must fulfill its function, so the finishes we use reflect beauty and durability equally, without compromising a consciousness towards our environment. We believe the natural beauty of wood is best displayed without the application of stains. Layer by layer, we hand rub our clear tung oil based finishes into the wood.
Our edition furniture is handcrafted from sustainable wood with unique stories, shared through traditional joinery and a considered modern aesthetic. Each piece comes with a history of the tree and details of the design. While designed jointly by the two of us, Celia Gibson & Michael Moran, our woodwork, from turned legs to hand-cut joints, is built entirely by Michael in our Hudson Valley workshop. All the crisp upholstery details are completed by the skilled craftspeople at Ibri's Upholstery, who also reside in the Hudson Valley.
We are proud to say a donation is made to the Arbor Day Foundation for each piece of furniture we build; these donations plant trees and support educational programs.
