The NYPL Branch Chair

Select Styles Are In-Stock and Ready to Ship

In collaboration with the New York Public Library, we've designed a chair that is more than just a piece of furniture for its patrons - but also a symbol of the Library, its mission and its vision for the future. The last iconic chair commissioned by The New York Public Library was for the reading rooms in the landmark 42nd Street Library in 1911. The NYPL Branch Chair by Thos. Moser will serve the great public institution and the communities it serves for decades to come.

MATERIAL & CARE

Your Thos. Moser furniture is made from premium hardwood provided by nature. The unique characteristics and the subtle variations in grain and color are important elements in our designs. Great care is taken to skillfully match the individual boards that make up every piece of our furniture.

Our furniture is finished with oil and lacquer. After each piece of furniture is carefully hand-sanded, it receives a coat of our proprietary oil blend. A day’s drying time is allowed, and the piece is lightly sanded, ready for the final finish.

After oiling, our pieces are finished with catalyzed lacquer. This finish is water, solvent, and household chemical resistant and does not require routine maintenance.

To clean, dust regularly with a soft dry cloth. When necessary, furniture can be wiped with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Re-wipe any remaining moisture immediately with a dry cloth.
