Mosers home studio, the Harpswell Chair was introduced in 1991 and became an instant classic. Its modest cafe chair design and refined details bring quiet distinction to any space. This pair is in near perfect condition with a classic upholstery on the seats. Featuring a back crest carved from a single piece of American hardwood, each chair reveals the inherent beauty of wood – with visually arresting natural grain patterns that make each piece unique. Crafted with carved, sweeping rear legs that extend to support the back, these chairs feature joinery that eliminates the need for stretchers. The resulting profile is clean, simple, and elegant and celebrates the space they occupy.

Since their introduction, Harpswell Chairs have earned a loyal following – and extraordinary distinction. In 2008, Pope Benedict XVI and President Bush sat side-by-side in Harpswell Chairs during the official White House welcoming ceremony for the Pope. The chair was again selected for use during a visit to Philadelphia by Pope Francis in 2015. The Harpswell Chair was also specified as a signature piece in the George W. Bush Presidential Center in Dallas, Texas. See less
