Deco Style Chair

A box with a cushion in it, and every seam nailed down in brass.

This Deco style chair is a squared-off club chair with brass nailhead trim. The Art Deco years favored exactly this kind of geometry in seating, with straight sides, flat arms and little patience for curves. The high, boxy arms and back are wrapped in soft taupe upholstery and capped along the front edges in dark stained wood. Rows of brass nailheads trace every edge and seam, and a plump seat cushion and lumbar pillow fill the interior. Short tapered wooden feet lift it just off the floor. It is 31.5 inches long, 27.5 deep and 26.25 high.

Sitting in it feels a little like being filed, in the best way.
