Six years in the making, the Newport Chair is a worthy heir to its early-American design heritage. In 1764, the Redwood Library in Newport purchased twelve low-backed Windsor chairs. They have been in near constant use ever since. None the worse for wear, their simple yet sturdy form inspired our own 21st-century edition. A refined workhorse of a chair-able to support 10-15 times its weight- it will happily endure the rigors of everyday life, growing more beautiful over time.
