mahogany with aniline dyes and hand-painted fabric

The designs of the seat backs portray backyard birds of New England. The chairs shown represent winter and spring with a downy woodpecker, owl, and robin. Summer is represented by a great blue heron, and fall by wild geese flying. The fabrics matching the seasons were created through a collaboration with Jane Balshaw, a well-known New Hampshire textile artist.

"Many artistic chairs disappoint when it comes to comfort. Not these. Comfort is priority number one."
