Originally designed for a private residence in Healdsburg, California, the San Francisco Armchair reinterprets the classic Adirondack chair through a contemporary geometric lens. Its familiar form is distilled into an interplay of rectangular prisms and cylinders, whose intersections give the design its distinctive sculptural character.
Carbon-steel tubes with a textured matte-black finish connect the front and rear sections of the solid wood frame. The leather seat appears to float within the structure, suspended by leather straps and buckles. Above it, a cylindrical headrest upholstered in cowhide provides support while introducing another layer of texture.
Developed in close collaboration with Comité de Proyectos’ master carpenters and upholsterers, the chair reflects a dialogue between contemporary design and artisanal expertise.
Originally crafted in solid huanacaxtle wood (parota wood), it can also be made in a selection of woods from Comité de Proyectos’catalog, including oak, white oak, tzalam, and walnut. Each offers a distinct expression of the chair’s geometric form and material character. The chair is well suited to covered terraces or as a statement piece indoors.
The San Francisco Chair won the 2023 SIT Furniture Design Award in the Lounge Chair category.
