Cross Campus Click for a larger view. Chicago-based architects HBRA asked us to work with them to build a custom chair for the Cross Campus library at Yale University. Aric Lasher of HBRA is as passionate about chairs as we are, and designed an elegant chair that truly fits with the Gothic style of the library. And our proven construction techniques, using pinned mortise & tenon joinery, will insure that the chairs endure for decades. Height: 39” Seat Height: 18” Width: 19” Depth: 23” Hardwood as shown: Quartersawn White Oak Finish as Shown: Bartlett Hall

Cross Campus Tablet Click for a larger view. We chose the elegant Cross Campus chair, designed for Yale University, for our first tablet arm chair. This is a classic application for our patented Eustis Jointฎ, and we were able to engineer a tablet arm that will stand up to decades of hard use in an academic setting. And all that durability comes in an elegant and functional package! Height: 39” Seat Height: 18” Width: 24” Depth: 28” Tablet Height: 26” Hardwood as shown: Quartersawn White Oak Finish as Shown: Bartlett Hall

Charleston Click for a larger view. This elegant, contemporary version of the classic "schoolhouse chair" was designed for the College of Charleston, and is as comfortable as it is distinctive. The steel rods and high-strength epoxy of our patented Eustis Joints allowed us to remove the unsightly stretchers without compromising the strength and durability of the chair. As with all of our Eustis Joint chairs, the warranty covers the first 20 years, but the owner can reasonably expect many decades of useful service life. Height: 39” Seat Height: 18” Width: 19” Depth: 21” Hardwood as shown: Cherry Finish as Shown: Natural

Charleston Arm Click for a larger view. Working with Boston architects Shepley Bulfinch, we added an elegant set of arms to our Charleston chair to create a true classic. This contemporary version of the classic "schoolhouse chair" has turned heads since its introduction last year. And the best part is that the entire chair is engineered with our patented Eustis Jointฎ, so the chair is as durable as it is elegant. Height: 39” Seat Height: 18” Width: 22.75” Depth: 21” Arm Height: 26” Hardwood as shown: Cherry Finish as Shown: Autumn Cherry

Edison Chair Click for a larger view. This chair is a handsome and durable reproduction of the chair used by Thomas Edison for his 1878 New Jersey laboratory, where he invented the incandescent light bulb. Harvard University chose this chair for their $28 million restoration of Memorial Hall, creating what is arguably the most beautiful college dining hall in America. The Edison Chair is offered only in American Ash, but it can be stained to match most other hardwoods. Height: 34” Seat Height: 18.5” Width: 17.5” Depth: 19” Hardwood as shown: American Ash Finish as Shown: Harvard

Fairfield Chair Click for a larger view. This chair is an adaptation of the styles of Wright, Greene and Stickley from the Arts & Crafts movement of the early 1900s. True to that period, the box-frame design and mortise and tenon construction combine to produce an elegant chair that is durable enough to withstand decades of rigorous use. The original Fairfield is built of red oak, but it can be made in other hardwoods. Like most of our chairs, the Fairfield is also available with a wooden seat. Height: 38” Seat Height: 19” Width: 19” Depth: 21” Hardwood as shown: Cherry Finish as Shown: Harvard

Fairfield Arm Chair Click for a larger view. The Fairfield chair was our very first library chair, but was not built in an arm chair version for several years. Like all of our arm chairs, the arms are attached to this chair with our patented Eustis Jointฎ, a system using concealed steel rods and high-strength epoxy to create a joint that is stronger than the hardwood from which the chair is manufactured. Height: 38” Seat Height: 18” Width: 25” Depth: 21” Arm Height: 26” Hardwood as shown: Red Oak Finish as Shown: Natural

Fairfield Youth Chair Click for a larger view. For the library that wants to carry the style of its adult furniture into the youth area, we can adapt most of our designs to the 16" seat height of a youth chair. Naturally, it is not as simple as simply lowering the legs, as every part of the chair needs to be redesigned. We were very pleased with the elegance of the Fairfield Youth chair; and because the joinery is the same as its adult cousin, this chair will handle many decades of hard, teenager use. Height: 35” Seat Height: 16” Width: 17.5” Depth: 20.5” Hardwood as shown: Red Oak Finish as Shown: Natural

Federal Reserve Chair Click for a larger view. The Federal Reserve is our interpretation of the popular Bank of England style chair. Because the chair incorporates our patented Eustis Joint® in all critical strength areas, we were able to eliminate the stretchers and lighten up the lines of this traditional favorite, without sacrificing the durability demanded by institutional clients. And the real proof is in the sitting; this design is our most comfortable chair to date! Height: 32” Seat Height: 17.5” Width: 22” Depth: 23” Arm Height: 28” Hardwood as shown: Ash Finish as Shown: Bartlett Hall

Ivy League Chair Click for a larger view. This chair was designed in collaboration with renowned New York City architect Robert Stern, and represents a simplified interpretation of the classic Chippendale style. Like all of our university chairs, the Ivy League is designed and constructed to withstand many years of abuse. Eustis Chair also offers a stackable chair with the same elegant Chippendale styling, using the remarkable Eustis Joint®. Height: 42” Seat Height: 18” Width: 19” Depth: 20.5” Hardwood as shown: Walnut Finish as Shown: Medium Walnut

Ivy League Arm Click for a larger view. Our designer hit the target when he developed the graceful arms and arm standards for this elegant chair, designed in the Chippendale style, in collaboration with NYC architect Robert Stern.

Nevada Click for a larger view. This custom chair was designed for the University of Nevada Reno, using design elements from our popular Charleston and Willard chairs, and some great ideas from their design committee. The RFP specified a chair that is "traditional and formal, comfortable, and exceptionally durable", and that is just what they got. Built with our patented Eustis Jointฎ, the Nevada carries a 20-year warranty against joint failure, and can be expected to give a 30-50 year service life. Height: 40” Seat Height: 18” Width: 20” Depth: 22” Hardwood as shown: Hard Maple Finish as Shown: Nevada

Novato Chair Click for a larger view. The Novato is an adaptation of our popular Fairfield Chair. A west coast client needed to bring down the cost, so we eliminated the curve in the back slats. This gave it a more traditional Arts & Crafts look, particularly when done in Quartersawn White Oak, with very little sacrifice in comfort. Height: 38” Seat Height: 18” Width: 19” Depth: 21” Hardwood as shown: Quartersawn White Oak Finish as Shown: Natural

Novato Bar Stool Click for a larger view. The designers at Carleton College asked us for a bar-height chair to match the Arts & Crafts look of the Novato chairs we were building for their dining hall renovation. Made with the same pinned mortise & tenon construction as all of our stretcher chairs, this new addition to our line is as comfortable as it is elegant and durable. Height: 44” Seat Height: 30” Width: 19” Depth: 22” Hardwood as shown: Quartersawn White Oak Finish as Shown: Bartlett Hall

Oberlin Chair Click for a larger view. This transitional chair was designed for the library in the new Science Center at Oberlin College. Starting with a traditional "courthouse" chair, we worked with the architects from Payette Associates of Boston to create a chair that is as pleasing to the eye as it is comfortable. Shown here with stretchers and traditional mortise and tenon construction, this chair can also be built with no stretchers, using our patented Eustis Joint®. Height: 40” Seat Height: 18” Width: 18.75” Depth: 19.5” Hardwood as shown: Red Oak Finish as Shown: Fairfield

Presbyterian Click for a larger view. Neal Prince & partners of South Carolina asked us to put a 3-position rocker onto our Skillman chair. We were pleased with the resulting combination of elegance and functionality, and decided to add the chair to our line. The substantial mortise & tenon joints used throughout this chair, pinned in place with hardwood dowels, insure that the chair will endure many decades of hard use in a busy college library environment. Height: 39” Seat Height: 18” Width: 19” Depth: 24” Hardwood as shown: Quartersawn White Oak Finish as Shown: Monterey

Simmons Click for a larger view. Simmons College asked us to put a curved "crown" in the top of our Charleston chair, and we were delighted with the result. Like its predecessor, the Simmons is as comfortable as it is distinctive, and more durable than anyone would think possible in such an elegant chair. The key to the durability is our patented Eustis Jointฎ. Made with concealed steel rods and high-strength epoxies, our Eustis Jointsฎ come with an unprecedented 20-year warranty. Height: 40” Seat Height: 18” Width: 19” Depth: 23” Hardwood as shown: Cherry Finish as Shown: Natural

Skillman Click for a larger view. This chair takes design aspects from two of our chairs, the Fairfield and the Bartlett Hall, to create a new look. Designed for an Arts & Crafts style library in Detroit, the architect and client were delighted with its comfort and style. Like all of our traditionally built chairs, the Skillman is engineered with our special “box construction” configuration, using oversized mortise & tenon joints and reinforcing dowel pins to create a chair that will endure for generations. Height: 39” Seat Height: 18.5” Width: 19” Depth: 21” Hardwood as shown: Quartersawn White Oak Finish as Shown: Antique Brown

Saint Mark's Click for a larger view. When we were approached by Saint Mark's Lutheran Church in San Francisco to put an upholstered back on our Charleston arm chair, we were pretty confidant the result would be elegant and comfortable; the final product exceeded our highest expectations! As an added bonus, the upholstered back is field-replaceable in the event that the upholstery is damaged. Height: 39” Seat Height: 18” Width: 19” Depth: 24” Hardwood as shown: Cherry Finish as Shown: Autumn Cherry

Suffolk Click for a larger view. For their renovation of Boston's 100 year old Suffolk County Court, architects Childs Bertman Tseckares chose to commission an exact replica of a chair that had served in the court for its first 100 years. Re-creation of this elegant design called for the old-world craftsmanship of Eustis Chair. And in order to make sure that the new chairs will be in service for many decades to come, the chair is engineered with our patented Eustis Jointฎ. Height: 35” Seat Height: 17.5” Width: 25” Depth: 26” Hardwood as shown: Quartersawn White Oak Finish as Shown: Suffolk

Widener Chair Click for a larger view. Many of our chairs can be made with a three-position or two-position sled. This allows the user to lean back for reading, or forward for computer work. Originally designed for use in a university library, the Widener chair is also an appropriate fir for courthouses, offices, and meeting and conference rooms. This chair can also be manufactured with arms. Height: 40” Seat Height: 18.5” Width: 19” Depth: 21” Hardwood as shown: Quartersawn White Oak Finish as Shown: Harvard
