The chair for a restaurant is maybe the most important decision you make when selecting and designing a venue. We literally spent three years looking at chairs. We just couldn’t find the perfect one. John Wardle and I must have spent hundreds of hours discussing chairs. (Sometimes after dinner service… sorry john)
Eventually, after meeting at Melbourne Design Week, we spoke with
@jongoulder . We were drawn to his formed-leather work, something we had never really seen applied to dining chairs, especially in a restaurant setting.
Jon then spent over 12 months developing the chair, with many prototypes and rounds of refinement, to create what we think is a masterpiece: the Pavilion Dining Room Chair. Formed leather, plated brass, and Tasmanian Blackwood.
I reckon this chair will become an icon of Australian furniture design in the years to come. Well done, Jon.
Go give him a follow and support Australian makers!
