Verdano Atelier

Walnut Armchairs

Mid-century proportions, hand-shaped timber arms. Made to be the chair you read in, fall asleep in, and refuse to throw out forty years from now.

Walnut armchair with curved sculptural arms in ivory boucle
Featured · The Halsey

The Halsey — sculpted arms, deep seat.

A swept-arm lounge chair shown here in ivory Kvadrat boucle on a solid American black walnut frame. Each arm is hand-shaped from a single piece of timber over two days — no two are quite identical, which is part of the point.

Swivel base optional (with or without return mechanism). Slipcovered version available for households with children or large dogs — the cover comes off in three minutes for dry-cleaning.
