A wooden chair with its design roots in both the Shaker movement and traditional European ladder-back chairs – and, of course, in designer David Ericsson’s own unmistakable design. Ericsson has won acclaim for his earlier chairs – and for good reason. Simple, functional and ingeniously designed, the chair is made of Swedish birch or Swedish oak, and you get to choose either a solid wooden seat or the slightly softer seat with leather saddle straps. As David himself points out, the length of time you spend sitting varies: Sometimes you want an espresso and other times a five-course meal.
