The Suffolk Chair

For their renovation of Boston’s 100 year old Suffolk County Superior Court, architects Childs Bertman Tseckares chose to come to us. They then commissioned an exact replica of a chair that had served in the court for its first 100 years. Needless to say, we love recreating chairs that have history or sentiment to to institutions. Therefore, we were excited about this challange. Its re-creation called for the old-world craftsmanship of Eustis Chair, built in our new-world American factory. Its back cross rail connects multiple bendings in the hardwood, which glide to the stately arms and legs.

The State

Designed for the club and fine dining market, this new chair incorporates elements of other chairs adapts them to create a brand new chair. Moreover, it adds an upholstered back into our Bainbridge Island design. The State chair has the same good looks as the original chair, and is a dream to sit in for hours at a time. The upholstery of the chair is completely customizable. You can order whatever upholstery–fabric, vinyl, or leather from anywhere in the world. We will suit your chairs perfectly. In addition, we can add arms, construct each chair in any hardwood species, and custom match your stain to match your project or insitution.

The Edison

When planning their 28 million dollar restoration of Memorial Hall, Harvard University chose The Edison. The outcome was one of the most elegant collegiate dining halls in America. The durable and classic hardwood chairs helped curate the air of refinement and timelessness that Memorial Hall embodies.

The Exeter Modular Pew

A New England prep school contacted us needing an alternative to traditional church pews. They needed a more flexible seating option to use in their 200-year-old chapel. Boston architects Cram & Ferguson designed this stacking modular pew chair for the institution. However, they found conventional joinery too weak for its unique requirements. Our patented Eustis Joint® was the missing piece.

Transporter

The chair Transporter is a custom-made hand truck to transport individual stacks of our stackable chairs. Once you stack chairs up to 10 high, you can easily move them wherever you need. Once moved to storage, the chair stack sits on the floor, so you only need to buy as many transporters as you have people moving chairs at any one time; we recommend one transporter per 100 chairs.

The Saint Marks

When Eustis Chair was approached by Saint Mark’s Lutheran Church in San Francisco for a chair project, we were excited. We decided to add an upholstered back on our existing Charleston chair. We were confident the result would be both elegant and comfortable. The fact is, the final product exceeded our highest expectations!

The Skidmore

Boston architect Michael Cohen of Elkus Manfredi liked our Elting Room chair for a lounge seating area. The architects decided the chair would work well in the new Skidmore library if we added an upholstered back. The new Skidmore chair has the same eased seating angle and great looks as the Elting Room chair, but it offers enhanced comfort of an upholstered back.

Choosing the Right Wood Chair Finish

Phillips Exeter Academy

Churches and chapels across the United States are now making the switch from standard pews to stacking hardwood chairs. Standard pews are uncomfortable and immobile. However, stacking hardwood chairs are perfect for storage and ease in set up and take down for facility staff. Stacking chairs can also be completely customized. We allow institutions to choose the model, hardwood, stain, and upholstery.

Options for Hardwood Chair Engraving

Hardwood chairs are inherently stately. Some institutions we work with prefer to add laser wood engraving to the chairs they order. Eustis Chair has engraved chairs for a number of clients. The engraving is usually on the top rail of the chairs. We can add whatever design and style you would like for your next Eustis Chair purchase.

The slight curves of the back spindles lay flat against the back for comfortable support. The barstool’s design is complete with a crowning top rail.

The Skillman

The Skillman chair embraces craftsman design with unmatched comfort and durability. Like all of our traditionally built chairs, we engineer the Skillman with our special “box construction” configuration.

Quality Chairs
