The Trumpeter was originally designed in 1958 for use throughout the Amsterdam Royal Hotel, designed by the same architect. The Trumpeter is an example of a classic furniture design inspired by the movement to adapt organic forms into our interior spaces. Appropriate to its name, the chair resembles an artful representation of the curves of the largest native North American bird.
The Trumpeter Chairs distinguished shape was created by omitting all straight lines from its design curved surfaces. The elegant shape is generous for lounging yet has a minimal airy appearance. The Trumpeter is mid-century modern in design and represents the era with its revolutionary form.
To this day, the piece including its stitching is hand created primarily due to its unique curvatures. Reproducing the original form in curve and proportion is part of the quality story, aside from materials used in premium reproductions.
Cashmere goats produce a double fleece that consists of a fine, soft undercoat or under-down of hair mingled with a straighter and much coarser outer coating of hair called Guard Hair. For the fine under-down to be sold and processed further, it must be de-haired. De-hairing is a mechanical process that separates the coarse hairs from the fine hair. After this separating process, the resulting premium “cashmere” is ready to be dyed and converted into yarn.
