Back to the Future

Behold! The Standard Chair by Uhuru Design. A new take on the traditional Louis style chair, the Standard incorporates the old and the new. The backs are hand-carved, remnants from a chair manufacturer that had gone out of business. Rather than using upholstery, the designers opted for an aluminum mesh backing, and plasma-cut steel seat and legs that add an industrial edge to the classic style. This chair is so fascinating, that it has recently been included in the Brooklyn Museum’s permanent collection.
