Walnut and Leather Chair
After three decades running a high-end cabinetry business, Fabian changed gears and returned to his first love: designing and building fine furniture, especially chairs. This “X-armchair” is one in a series of upholstered pieces with challenging joinery, like the angled half lap of the back legs, and the box joints connecting the armrests to the front legs. The subtle tapers and softened edges are done almost entirely with a spokeshave.
