Sophia’s Arm Chair

The Sophia Arm Chair is a masterful interpretation of the Klismos, the oldest recorded chair form found in ancient Greek art and pottery. Named after Charlie and Miranda’s daughter—a name that also signifies "wisdom" in Greek—this chair blends historical architectural grace with the superior comfort of traditional Vermont craftsmanship.

The chair’s silhouette is defined by its fluid, sweeping lines and signature hand-carved flourishes:

Features & Craftsmanship

• Ancient Greek Inspiration: The design honors the classic Klismos form, featuring a distinctive curved backrest that provides both ergonomic support and a timeless, scholarly aesthetic.

• Signature Hand-Carved Arms: The arms transition into a rounded, sinuous version of our workshop's hallmark hand-carved curl, offering a tactile and elegant resting place for the hands.

• Artisanal Detailing: Every chair features a meticulously hand-carved bead on the apron and back supports, showcasing the precision and "human touch" of our master carvers.

• Superior Seat Construction: For lasting comfort and durability, the seat is built with traditional hand-tied coil springs, a hallmark of high-quality upholstery.

• Refined Tailoring: The chair is finished with elegant double welting along the bottom of the seat, providing a crisp, sophisticated transition between the upholstery and the solid wood frame.

• Subtle Structural Elegance: The frame transitions into subtly tapered legs that maintain a light visual profile while ensuring unwavering structural stability.

The Sophia Arm Chair is a durable work of art, designed to bring a sense of classical wisdom and soulful permanence to your dining room or executive study.
