Sophia’s Side Chair

The Sophia Side Chair is a masterful interpretation of the Klismos chair, the oldest recorded chair form found in ancient Greek art and pottery. Named after Charlie and Miranda’s daughter—a name that also signifies "wisdom" in Greek—this piece blends historical architectural grace with the superior comfort of traditional Vermont craftsmanship.

The chair’s silhouette is defined by its fluid, sweeping lines and refined decorative details:

Features & Craftsmanship

• Ancient Greek Inspiration: The design honors the classic Klismos form, featuring a distinctive curved backrest that provides both ergonomic support and a timeless aesthetic.

• Artisanal Hand-Carving: Every chair features a meticulously hand-carved bead detail on the apron and back supports, showcasing the precision and "human touch" of our master carvers.

• Superior Seat Construction: For lasting comfort and durability, the seat is built with traditional hand-tied coil springs, a hallmark of high-quality upholstery.

• Refined Tailoring: The chair is finished with elegant double welting along the bottom of the seat, providing a crisp, sophisticated transition between the upholstery and the solid wood frame.

• Subtle Structural Elegance: The frame transitions into subtly tapered legs that maintain a light visual profile without compromising the chair's unwavering stability.

• Hand-Rubbed Luster: Typically crafted from solid American hardwood, the frame is hand-finished to a silky-smooth sheen that highlights the organic depth of the wood grain.

The Sophia Side Chair is a durable work of art, designed to bring a sense of classical wisdom and soulful permanence to your dining room or study.
