About the Item
Hand-sculpted "Rainbow Chair" low-slung chair, Nicholas Hamilton Holmes
Dimensions: 37” D x 26” H x 30” W
Materials: Blackened ash, Mongolian shearling
Custom wood finish and upholstery options available
A low slung easy chair that is perfect for reading in the afternoon or talking to a friend while looking immeasurably stylish. The lower frame is distinguished by its arched front legs. The back legs pierce the rainbow and extend backward to create an unconventional undercarriage. The upper seat samples Windsor chair construction with a continuous arm bow that is joined to the seat with wedged spindles. The seat is piled high with a mound of Mongolian sheep wool that invites the sitter to sink into the luxury of the chair.
Nicholas Hamilton Holmesis a sculptor and furniture maker living and working in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. All work is produced in studio.
The main themes of Holmes’ work are traditional methods, and contemporary style. The combination of time tested techniques like handcut joinery or proportional design guarantee that all the work meets a standard of quality higher than most other producers.
This studio prides itself on attention to detail, from the initial sketch to the finished piece, everything is artisan made and crafted.
Sculpture has quickly become a focus of the studio, both in terms of art works, as well as furniture design. Bent, shaped and moulded wood make Holmes’ work both unique and valuable to collectors.
Holmes believes in designing and building work that will last the test of time. The aesthetic that he applies references the foundation of the past, and pushes the contemporary vanguard of the future.

Galerie Philia
Galerie Philia is an international contemporary sculptural design and art gallery representing emerging and established designers and artists. The gallery is the brainchild of two brothers who share a lifetime passion for art, literature and philosophy. Their distinct academic background sets them apart from their peers, as it sees them following a rhizomatic and transcultural approach in the way they select works. This involves combining elements from multiple cultures in what becomes a network of harmoniously interconnected roots, ultimately revealing the beauty of each unique creation. The gallery’s non-hierarchical curation sits apart from the ephemerality of trends and focuses instead on the true aesthetic quality of the piece – alluring and timeless. Unlike others, Galerie Philia does not focus on a single style – whether minimalist, organic or raw – but rather embraces heterogeneity. The Galerie Philia takes pride in discovering new talents, providing them with multiple international platforms to showcase their latest creations. As well as propelling the newest generation of 21st century collectible design, Galerie Philia also works with internationally known design artists. Galerie Philia has a strong international presence, with galleries in Geneva, New York and Singapore. In addition to their permanent spaces, the gallery organizes temporary group exhibitions and artists residencies in first-class locations around the world.
