Midcentury Compass Chair in Solid Oak and Leather

About the Item

This midcentury modernist chair is just perfect in every way. The build quality is exceptional and probably executed by a master craftsman. As it is completely constructed out of solid oak and the proportions are dead on this is probably a one of commissioned piece. Perhaps a custom project or a prototype for a architect or designer.
