  • Revolving Windsor Chair
    16 Revolving Windsor Chair A few years ago it fell to me to write a story about Thomas Jefferson in a chess match with his slave Jupiter. This venture led to a play on the same subject, as well as research into the physical objects used as metaphorical vehicles for the ideas. In this regard, Jefferson makes it easy for us. One of the more obvious physical items is the revolving Windsor chair used by Jefferson when he was working to draft the Declaration of Independence in 1776. Having seen a picture of the chair in its surviving form and an- other picture of a re-creation of it, I undertook to make a similar one to use on stage. My version differs from the original in the use of a steam-bent arm rail rather than a sawn and carved one, because I could make a bent arm faster than a sawn one. Making this swivel Windsor is in some ways easier than making a normal one, in that the seat is circular rather than a sculpted outline. There are a lot of parts and processes to a Windsor chair, but with the exception of hollowing the seat, you have already seen how to do them all. Windsor chairs, as the name suggests, are of English design. Windsor chair-making in England centered around the town of High Wycombe, but the chairmaking did not begin in town. Out in the woods, workers called chair bodgers felled, split, and turned the beech legs on their springpole lathes, then sold these legs to chairmakers in town.

  • Finishes & Options
    FINISHES & OPTIONS WOOD STAINS, METAL PAINTS, TABLE TOP OPTIONS & DESIGN DETAILS. WOODS, COLORS AND FINISHES... WOODS Wood is an organic material that undeniably adds warmth to any space. Unlike man made materials, wood is a naturally renewable resource that poses no threat to human health during processing. Each species of wood has a unique and naturally occurring pattern that can vary greatly. Due to the complex structure of wood, small knots, piths, pores, rings, etc. may appear and add decorative appeal. Wood grain - Maple Knots Mirrors WOOD COLOR & SPECIES Each species of wood has an innate base color, ranging from white to pinkish, yellow to brown. This impacts the way that stains and paints appear when applied. We primarily work with Beech for our chairs and Ma- ple for table tops. Each of our standard wood stains have been color matched so that any standard color will appear the same in both species. We have the capabilities to source Ash, American Walnut, Oak, etc. and request that for any custom color match, special finish or non-standard species, a reference sample be provided and approved prior to production. STANDARD WOOD STAINS ( “*” implies that finish is also available on Bentwood Collection) Nautral* Parchment White* Black* Aspen Driftwood Kona* Storm Canyon* Beetroot* Dune* Nutmeg* Acorn Cocoa Honey* Almond Due to the limitations of even the most sophisticated printing process, the colors represented here are only as accurate as photography and printing allows. METAL FINISHES... STEEL & ALUMINUM Designed to be strong and durable, metal chairs can be gorgeous, too. We hand-tailor, cope and braze all joints to add even more stability, exceeding strength and durability standards, and customer expectations.

For those who have had a successful executive career, it is a hard transition to make and yet it can be a deeply satisfying one. The mature executive learns to lead a team or a business, but the hardest task is to lead leaders. Some CEOs do that. All chairs should. It is the ultimate form of leadership and the most subtle. Our purpose here is the describe the steps to becoming a chair, what the role involves, and the personal characteristics needed to chair a board effectively. We focus on non-executive chairs of quoted company boards, although we briefly consider other types of board. This guide draws upon the findings from Spencer Stuart’s Chair Forum, an initiative to develop the chairs of the future, as well as several decades of experience of advising boards, helping to appoint chairs, observing their work at close quarters and supporting them in their role.
