Do you like a little dash of modern here and a bit of 17th-century there? Thanks to the melding talents of Bryce and Kerry Moore, the husband and wife team of Context Furniture, the William and Mary Side Chair gives the silhouette of a 17th-century classic with a decidedly modern twist.
This unique chair is a collaborative effort between Bryce's background in crafting, sculpture and furniture, and Kerry's focus on graphics merging industrial with natural materials, and mass production and hand-craftsmanship. Each piece is made with layers of Baltic birch plywood with a strip of hardwood incorporated into the plywood. We love the detail of the veneer on the side profile.
What drew me to this design more than myobsession for history was the pure creativity to allow people to enjoy living with an "antique." Far from being a purest, I do think incorporating something classic or historical in nature into a decorating theme is good for the senses. The William and Mary Chair ($1,098) along with Context Furniture's entire collection sells online at Design Public.
