Materialien & Oberfläche

The Barrel Chair is crafted from solid hardwood, most often oak or mahogany, finished with clear lacquer or stain to highlight the natural grain. The curved backrest and circular seat structure are complemented by an upholstered seat cushion, typically in high-quality leather or fabric. The interplay of warm wood tones and refined upholstery reflects Wright’s principle of uniting craftsmanship with organic materiality.

The semi-enclosing backrest offers supportive comfort, while the padded seat provides resilience for daily use. The compact circular footprint allows the chair to be easily integrated into dining, lounge, or study settings. Despite its sculptural form, the Barrel Chair remains practical, embodying Wright’s concept of furniture as an extension of architecture. Its timeless balance of form and function makes it suitable for both classic and modern interiors.

Komfort & Funktionalität

The chair is formed from a cylindrical wooden shell, created by joining curved wooden panels with precise joinery. Vertical wooden slats reinforce the backrest while maintaining visual lightness. The seat rests on a circular wooden frame, securely joined to the vertical elements. Traditional woodworking techniques, including dowels and mortise joints, ensure durability and stability. The seat cushion is fixed with concealed fasteners, maintaining a clean profile.
