O.F.S. Armchair
Not available as a folding chair
The Arm Chair is the O.F.S. Dining Chair's elder sibling — broader in the seat, with arms that invite a longer sit. It came about, as these things often do, because a client asked for it. They had ordered the dining chairs for the long side of their table and wanted something with arms at the heads. Could we, they wondered, draw the chair with arms?
We could, and we did, and in the drawing the proportions wanted to shift. The arms asked for a slightly wider seat. The wider seat asked for a slightly heavier frame. By the time the first prototype came off the bench it was clear the Arm Chair was its own piece — related to the dining chair the way a captain's chair is related to its side chairs, but holding its own ground at the ends of the table.
We do not fold this one. The arms are part of the structure, the frame is fixed, and the chair is meant to stay where it's set. We offer it in two widths — the standard at 22⅜" and a wider seat at 24⅜" for clients who want still more room — and in the full material vocabulary of the dining chair. Slings in fabric or leather, cushions to match or contrast, bridle-leather strapping in six colors, hardware from satin stainless to lacquered brass.
It has become, somewhat unexpectedly, our most-specified head-of-table chair. It also reads beautifully on its own, paired with a side table and a reading lamp, which is how more than one of our clients have ended up using it.
Both chairs trace their lineage to the Officer's Field Set.
