Gauguin Black chair

This superb, 19th century-style armchair stands out for its graceful combination of materials and artisan techniques. A sinuous array of branches defines the beech frame, which boasts a singular bamboo-like design peeled and lacquered in black to replicate the texture of tree bark. Dark-lacquered steel nails keep the seat's off-white cotton upholstery in place. Additional comfort is offered by the matching pillow.
