Just got a postcard in the mail advertising Greene Design Furniture‘s new Doza line. Looks like a neat mix of contemporary Japanese elements and Craftsman design, with a real emphasis on the low wide lines of the Prairie movement – the seating is especially spacious. The armrests are carved from a single large piece of cherry, and then pretty dark walnut is inlaid. The cushions, however, look more mid-century modern than Craftsman, but work surprisingly well with the rest of the designs. A downloadable PDF describes the measurements of the pieces a bit better, although it doesn’t look like pricing information is available yet.
Our local art museum is opening a new exhibit on Friday featuring chairs – I think it’s called 100 years of chairs. This particular chair – while contemporary – reminds me of some of the pieces that are on the advertising for the exhibit! I think this one is fantastic.
