The Durruti Chair, constructed from solid fumed cherry, carries a darkened patina, achieved through a traditional fuming process that reacts with the natural tannins in the wood. This deep, earthy finish enhances the wood’s grain structure and gives the chair a warm dignity. The Durruti is assembled with intricate hand-cut joinery, eschewing mechanical fasteners in favor of time-honored woodworking techniques. These joints are not merely functional, they’re expressive, revealing the chair’s construction as part of its aesthetic language. The piece is finished in a hand-rubbed, plant-based oil, applied slowly and deliberately to allow the wood to breathe. This choice reinforces a commitment to sustainability and sensory intimacy, no synthetic gloss, just the quiet sheen of well-nourished wood. The seat and backrest are upholstered in a lush velvet embroidered with a repeating “rice stitch” pattern, but custom upholstery is available upon request.
