Gabe and I stopped for lunch at a small restaurant in Harbin, and the host seated us at a table with armchairs with geometric backs and padded seats. I adored the shape and comfort and knew there’d be a market for such a seat in the States.

Our Harbin Chair swapped out the original chair’s bamboo frame for plantation-grown mahogany carved to look like bamboo, and it’s stained a weathered blue so some of the hand details come through.
