This beautiful chair has a sturdy timber frame with square-set legs, designed in the style of grown-up office furniture - here delightfully scaled down for the small sitter. The chair is finished with vibrant teal leather upholstery, neatly studded with traditional upholstery tacks, giving it that unmistakable director’s / committee-room feel.
Perfect for a child’s bedroom, playroom or as a tongue-in-cheek decorative accent in a hallway or studio, it’s a piece that invites conversation — equal parts functional seating and sculptural nostalgia.
A brilliant example of utilitarian design made charming simply through its miniature proportions.
