The Ricardo Side Chair is a refined exercise in contemporary minimalism, meticulously handcrafted in our Bridgewater, Vermont workshop. Designed to complement the clean architectural lines of the Ricardo collection, this chair balances a lightweight visual profile with the exceptional strength and "human feeling" of traditional furniture making.

The chair’s silhouette is defined by its sweeping curves and understated structural clarity:

Features & Craftsmanship

• Contoured Backrest: The solid wood backrest features a gentle, ergonomic curve and a broad, hand-finished surface that highlights the natural beauty of the continuous grain.

• Architectural Frame: The design utilizes square-edged legs and clean transitions to achieve a sophisticated, modern aesthetic that remains rooted in classical proportions.

• Premium Tailored Upholstery: The seat is expertly upholstered with a crisp, plush cushion, providing a comfortable sit for long dinners while maintaining the chair's streamlined profile.

• Masterful Joinery: Built using traditional mortise and tenon joinery, the frame is engineered for lifelong durability and structural integrity.

• Heirloom Wood Selection: Typically crafted from sustainably harvested American Black Cherry or Black Walnut, the wood is chosen for its organic warmth and enduring character.

• Lustrous Hand-Rubbed Finish: Every wooden surface is hand-finished to a silky-smooth sheen, protecting the timber and inviting the touch.

The Ricardo Side Chair is a durable work of art, designed to bring a sense of quiet permanence and soulful Vermont craftsmanship to any modern dining environment.
