Ethos

Collection: Ethos

A stunning example of craft techniques, the Ethos chair offers a fresh, contemporary interpretation of the classic, mid-century tuxedo chair.

Refined in scale and detail, the Ethos chair is composed of simple upholstered forms resting within a stainless steel frame that elevates the seat above the floor. With deep cushions cradled by the metal frame, the chair offers exceptional comfort while retaining the rigorous elegance of modernist design. The Ethos collection, designed by David Ritch and Mark Saffell of 5d studio, includes benches, ottomans and occasional tables that display equal fluency with line, proportion and detail.
