Writing Chair aka "Brookhaven Chair" by David Ebner, 1982

30h x 20w x 20d in

The Writing Chair aka "Brookhaven Chair" made of ebonized oak. An iconic and important Studio Furniture design by David Ebner. Derived from his original Sofa Table in re-sawn laminates, he made the chair to accompany a desk. It has been widely regarded as comfortable, unique, and structurally sound. He carried the theme forward in the design for his Library Steps, 1982. Publication - "David N. Ebner : Studio Furniture," p. 76
