A fresh derivation of the seminal English Windsor Chair, our Catena Side Chair finds the perfect balance between light and substance. This chair relies on hardwood knees, not spreaders, freeing plenty of space for resting feet and legs, and vertical components crafted from ash- a resilient, durable wood that provides stability in the legs, and a hint of flexibility in its slender back spindles.

A celebration of simple elegance.
Designed with a nod to the traditional English Windsor Chair, the Catena Arm Chair achieves all of its antecedent’s comfort with a fraction of its mass. Made with joinery techniques that permit an open, airy form, this chair is marked by its use of two species of North American hardwood. The combination is visually engaging and structurally sound, with durable ash legs, tensioned ash spindles, and seating surface, arms, knees, and back crafted in a choice of our favorite hardwood.
Chosen by Pope Francis as seating for his 2017 visit to Philadelphia, the Catena Arm Chair is the most recent Moser design to earn high profile appreciation.
