The Neil Chair is a modern side chair with a seat woven in bridle leather in a radial weave pattern sometimes used in traditional Shaker chair seats and baskets. Neil’s turned legs splay into a tube backrest shaped from solid steambent wood. The weave was inspired by fall visits to Shaker villages, the graceful functionality found in a simple repetitive pattern, and memories of baskets being woven in our house growing up.
