How it began
A single chair, built for a friend.
The first Mustachio Back was made for a friend who had worn through three store-bought chairs in as many years. It outlasted them all, and he asked for another. Then a friend of his did.
The workshop never grew beyond what a few hands could build well. Eight to ten weeks per chair, start to finish, signed by whoever made it.
The Method
Eight to ten weeks,
four hands,
one chair.
- 01
The frame
Kiln-dried hardwood, mortise-joined and glued. Everything that bears weight is built to bear it for decades.
- 02
The leather
Full-grain aniline, cut by hand from the centre of the hide. Edges turned, seams hand-stitched.
- 03
The finish
Eight-way hand-tied suspension, then nail trim tapped one at a time. The chair is signed before it ships.
“Good furniture is not about more options. It is about the right one, made by someone who will answer for it.”
