About the Item

A stunning studio-crafted armchair in richly figured claro black walnut, designed and built by American craftsman Dave Hentzel—an admirer of Sam Maloof and a torchbearer of the American studio furniture tradition. This chair embodies the sculptural elegance and tactile warmth that define Maloof’s legacy, while showcasing Hentzel’s own masterful interpretation. The chair features a contoured spindle back that flows organically into the arms and seat, with each spindle individually shaped to create a rhythmic visual and ergonomic harmony. The hand-carved joinery and fluid lines highlight the natural beauty of the walnut, offering both comfort and artistry in equal measure. This piece stands beautifully on its own or as part of a larger studio-crafted ensemble. A matching two-seater bench in the same claro walnut and sculptural language is available separately. Signed and dated to the underside.
