With its low arms that can slide beneath a desk, this chair was designed for an office but its posture is appropriate for dining and occasional seating. Hard maple and leather These chairs are workhorses built to be used at the computer, desk, and drafting table. When I first turned my attention from living room and dining chairs to a working desk chair, I spent a year buying and testing every desk chair base I could find. I even worked with a machinist to create one of my own. For comfort, durability, and looks, I believe the base I'm using now is the best on the market. A nitrogen-filled gas cylinder in the base column allows for height adjustment. A strong adjustable spring mounted on the underside of the chair seat lends the chair a cushioned tilt, described by many sitters as "floating." The chair tilts 19° from upright and can be locked into position at any angle. The carved wooden handles on the adjustment mechanisms are by Holly Tornheim, an accomplished craftswoman.

This chair, inspired by a three-legged farm chair I saw in Hallingdal, Norway, was designed for Wim and Pauly van Muyden. Designed as a dining chair, it also works as an occasional chair or desk chair. It looks good made with a single wood, or with the seat in one kind of wood and the frame in another. Walnut and quilted maple blend wonderfully. Three museums have acquired the van Muyden Chair for their permanent collections. Cherry w/quilted maple seat, Walnut w/ quilted maple seat. An extremely comfortable and practical chair. California walnut and leather For years I loved the pragmatism and comfort of the desk chair, and I wondered how I could get that chair design to a more refined setting in the dining room or the sitting room away from the work place. The Gillian Chair, although at home at the desk, can be smoothly wheeled to the living room for an evening of conversation and entertainment. Its upholstery is meticulously cut and sewn by Jack Favour. Quilted maple and leather
