Living With Intention
Anne and George Topic's relationship with Thos. Moser began nearly two decades ago with a single Vita Chair. Since then, their home has grown around contemporary art, family pieces, objects gathered through travel, and furniture chosen slowly and with purpose.
Rather than furnishing rooms all at once, they have allowed the house to take shape gradually—each piece finding its place alongside what came before.
The Chair that Started it All
Anne first noticed the Vita Chair in the window of our Georgetown showroom. Its lightness and modern lines felt different from what she expected from Thos. Moser. “I was smitten,” she recalls.
That instinct still shapes the home today. In the living room, a Wing Chair, Hartford Coffee Table, and High Stool share the space with art and objects collected over time, connected more by proportion, material, and use than by any need to match.
Around the Hearth
The living room is built around contrast: sculptural furniture, warm wood, collected art, and a restrained architectural palette. The Wing Chair brings a strong architectural presence, balanced by the low profile of the Hartford Coffee Table and the lighter utility of the High Stool. Rather than matching, the pieces relate through proportion, material, and use, creating a room that feels settled without feeling static.
A Place to Gather
At the center of the dining area, the Oval Ring Dining Table and four Aria Side Chairs create an inviting focal point.

Room to Think
Built into the architecture, this compact workspace keeps the focus on what’s essential. A Cumberland Chair brings warmth and presence to the clean lines of the desk, while a two-drawer Element Credenza adds quiet storage without adding visual weight.
Space to Unwind
The loft brings several Moser pieces into a more relaxed setting. An NYPL Swivel Chair and Vita Sofa create space for reading and conversation, while an Element Desk and Element Credenza give the room a working edge without making it feel like an office.

Living With Intention

Set for Summer
Complete with classic New England architecture, cedar shakes, and a Maine-made weathervane, customer Chris T.’s home blends his passion for boating and Maine artisanship. Initially, the 6,500-square-foot “Eagle Loft” was built to store his two Hinckley yachts during the off-season. It wasn’t until the project was well underway that Chris decided to add the living quarters to enjoy the area and entertain guests during the summer. A bay of open windows invites the iconic Acadia National Park coastline in with dappled views of the Bear Island Lighthouse through a lush canopy of heirloom maple trees and cool salt breezes from the Somes Sound. Above: The Eagle Loft Chris’ affinity for Maine and fine craftsmanship started in the late 1960s, as a 12-year-old, when he spent his summers visiting his aunt and uncle in New Gloucester, Maine. He vividly remembers those summers when he climbed aboard the Greyhound bus in Boston bound for Maine. One of his favorite summer adventures included tagging along with his uncle to visit his friend at his “workshop.” This was the first workshop in the old Grange Hall. Recollecting his younger years, Chris says, “As a Boston city kid, I was amazed to see furniture being made and refurbished by hand. It created a lifelong interest in following the success of Tom’s furniture over the decades.” As time passed, Chris watched the business grow. Moser was a natural choice when it came to furnishing the Eagle Loft. Every element was thoughtfully planned, designed, and executed. With the main living space situated among the trees, he wanted furniture that reflected the surroundings and exuded Maine ingenuity and craft. When speaking of the table and chairs, Chris notes, “They were the first pieces of furniture I selected for my new home. I’ve admired his furniture for years—the pure craftsmanship, a combination of elegance and comfort, drew me to his designs.” I've admired this furniture for years— the pure craftsmanship, a combination of elegance and comfort drew me to his designs. -Chris T. Chris’ space was made for gathering with a table set for summer soirees after a day on the water. The solid walnut trestle of the Wishbone table anchors the room, and the Eastward Chairs’ hand-sculpted seats invite people to gather and take in the view. At one luncheon, he recalls, “It lasted for hours; it’s a testament to how comfortable Tom’s wooden chairs are.” While family and guests appreciate the fine craftsmanship of the furniture, Chris notes that he delights in showing the maker's signature to guests on every piece- “it always wows them,” he says. The fine art of boatbuilding and furnituremaking shares a symbiosis that enriches the space and the lives of those who visit the Eagle Loft. For Chris, this kinship of craft has created a childhood dream home where he shares meals with friends around a table and chairs designed by a man he met as a child, whilst gazing upon a harbor steeped in a rich history of boatbuilding.
