Story
A name from the woods
The name A Chair in the Forest evokes the sound and scent of an ancient tree woodland. Time & Style drew the chair in 2020 for the Time & Style ēdition range around a simple, well-balanced and extremely comfortable frame.
Bent wood, one chair at a time
The minimalist outline comes from steam bending the beech and pressing it in a mould. Because the grain of solid wood differs from piece to piece, each chair is unique.
