This Art Nouveau inspired dining room set was designed and built for the country house of a couple who also collect art. The clients wanted simplicity with originality, and visible craftsmanship. They saw another chair we had designed, and asked for a variation as part of a dining arrangement.

We worked closely with these clients for several months, while refining drawings to reflect their vision and process, as well as our own. We enjoy working directly with clients to arrive at a design that they have ownership in, one that they choose to live with on a daily basis.

The chairs were made of two woods - all vertical surfaces cherry, horizontal surfaces of walnut, with a hand-carved and faceted seat. The table was also constructed with vertical elements of cherry and horizontal elements of walnut. The edge-banding around the tabletop was curly cherry. The legs and brackets are abstractions of dragonflies.
