Los Angeles-based furniture designer Thomas Hayes has debuted a decidedly different type of chair, created with his longtime friend, textile designer Samantha Gallacher of Art + Loom. Dubbed the SG Chair, its barrel design features woven cotton, an oak frame and a leather seat.
“We brainstormed on a dining chair that would look really sexy from the back and also be comfortable,” explains Hayes, who envisions it as a desk chair as well as a standalone sculptural work. “This piece is a statement,” Gallacher adds. “It highlights beautiful fabrics and Thomas’ woodworking craft, and warms up a space with its texture and materials.” The SG Chair is available via Thomas Hayes Studio.
