The Ambassador chair has a bold stance that commands the attention of anyone who catches a glimpse. Highlighting negative space the soft cushions appear to float above the complex walnut frame. True to its namesake, the chair is a strong and polished representative of distinguished individuals. One role of the Ambassador chair is to enable and sustain friendly conversion in a comfortable setting, all while keeping a low profile.

The bent plywood seat is upholstered in violet Italian wool and hand stitched back panel punctuates the tapered edge. Seat and back can be easily removed with concealed set screws for future reupholstery or swapping of colors.

Good posture helps sustain comfort, the chair gently encourages lumbar support while maintaining a relaxed feel

The crinoline stretcher curves towards the back making way for the sitter to rest their legs under the seat.

Another feature is the bent crest rail which makes for a perfect hand hold to slide the seat in or out with just one hand.

The back posts are steam bent in three dimensions to form the flowing antler shape. From the back view the footprint is squeezed to make it easier to maneuver around the chair, while the flared top gives support for backrest. They also simultaneously rake backwards in profile for stability and to form a comfortable seating angle for the backrest.

Hand shaped out of locally sourced solid walnut, the frame features six bent wood components to maximize strength and enable a light slender frame. Bending solid wood allows the grain to run parallel throughout the length of each part, running directly into the joints. This prevents the wood from shearing when used overtime. Although the chair only weights 9.5lbs (4.3kg), its joinery is made to never fail. All connections add strength back to the chair, utilizing a housed mortise and tenon construction to maintain the clean aesthetic.
