Explore a Tonal Scheme Built From One Pale Family
Working tone on tone is harder than working with contrast, because without a dark anchor a room can drift into blandness. This chair solves it with texture: the large-structured chenille throws its own shadows, and the natural finish on the ash legs keeps the timber pale but leaves the grain fully legible. Put the two together and you get a chair made almost entirely of light values that still has plenty to look at. It belongs in a room with white plaster, linen and pale flooring, where a dark leg would break the calm.
The cover is a two-tone recycled polyester chenille, and the recycled content is not incidental: it comes from a supplier certified to the Global Recycled Standard, which verifies recycled input and tracks it through production rather than taking a mill's word for it. The finished cloth also holds OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100, a test for harmful substances applied to the textile as it will actually be sold. Between them, the two schemes cover where the fibre came from and what has been done to it.
