The Anatomy of the Continuous Arm Chair

The Seat & Spindles

The Continuous Arm Chair includes a highlight (raised section) that runs around the back of the chair, where the ash spindles join the seat. The spindles extend all the way through the seat and are wedged top and bottom, making them not only aesthetically pleasing but easy to repair, should the n

The Arm

The continuous arm in our signature chair is created using flitch-cut cherry or walnut. The process involves quartering and steaming sections of logs, then slicing them into tenth-inch thick strips. The knife cuts produce no sawdust – and thus no waste – and the board’s full strength is preserved.

The Legs

The legs represent the chair’s final distinction. Tom Moser replaced traditional stretchers with curved braces called a ship’s knees. Supportive and strong, the ship’s knee is created from 1/32″ laminated wood that is bent to shape, and then set into a slot that is cut and shaped into the leg, so it is flush with the surface.

It’s All In the Details

With more than 40 years since we first introduced the Continuous Arm Chair, it is largely crafted exactly as it was by Tom Moser when he conceived and perfected the design. Our ongoing commitment to carefully crafting each chair one at a time ensures that each piece can become a family heirloom, remain part of that family’s legacy.
