From the side, the wedge designed the body of Stilt angles to some degree backward with the back cushion following the same angle. The angle provides uniformity in design with cushion following frame and a natural pitch-perfect seating platform results. The modernist cube back features reversible and zippered cushion filled with a dense foam core for memory retention and down feathers for softer seating comfort.
A significant portion of the development cost of the Stilt is due to the heirloom finished solid Natural Ash frame base. This hefty architectural element spans the front, the sides, underneath, and artistically extends upwards supporting a significant portion of the back. The depth of the wooden frame exceeds that of the width of the upholstered chair, thus creating interesting angled space in the back between the frame and the chair at the base. The wooden platform is a solid and architecturally stunning element from all angles allowing you to place the chair at any location in the room.
The seat cushion is affixed to the chair body providing a clean well-kept appearance and features a multi-density foam core for memory retention. The seat cushion is then stuffed with down feathers. A richly comfortable seating experience results, an unusual trait from such a streamlined mid-century modern design. The Stilt Chair is a substantial modernist design for a relatively small investment. From the Ash wooden frame to the down feather stuffed cushions to the genuine metal spring system, the Stilt Chair is enduring modernist design, with just a touch of Danish.
A small percent of the world’s leather supply is of high enough quality for 100% Top Grain Aniline upholstered furniture. Aniline Dyeing is the process of soaking the hides in transparent aniline, which allows color to absorb into the natural hide. Top Grain Aniline leather is then topical stain protected to minimize liquid absorption during everyday use but does not require imitation grain stamping methods, which imprint a Faux grain over the majority of the leather surface. Without all the synthetic topical coatings, it breathes naturally making it comfortable for seating. It is soft, supple, durable and pliable, maintaining the characteristics of pure leather.
