Gustavian Tub Chair

This is an all-time favorite and a classic in its own calling. The Gustavian Tub Chair takes a page from the mid-century modern Swedish influence that was the rage and swept across the west influencing countless items of furniture. In many ways a real timeless style both elegant to observe and very functional in comfort.

With a nod to those gentle Swedish sunsets, the delicately-colored Tub Chair is often seen in hotels, bars, and restaurants as they are both practical and graceful. It works just as well in the home, as an efficient yet elegant alternative to an armchair. I remember enjoying the view and the atmosphere of a fine bar in Stockholm that had very similar chairs and an overall dcor sense that was welcoming, easy and friendly it left a lasting impression on me.

Wisteria products are primarily handmade at small artisanal facilities in a traditional manner, in small batch quantities, or often as an individually made-to-order item if it is a part of our custom or bespoke program. Naturally – this means products may have variations between two items that may have been made in a separate batch or at a different time. Thus, minor imperfections are part of the patina for these products.

We want to share this with you so that you know what to expect and be proud of the uniqueness of your purchase. This is quintessential Wisteria and very much part of the DNA of us and our products. Several pieces in the line are also finished in a distressed or rustic style, and this style lends itself to showing off wood imperfections, distinct wood grains, and notches more readily than what a typical stain or finish would disguise.As patrons of the brand, we know you appreciate this difference – unlike many of our larger competitors who bring you factory-made products that are mass manufactured in state-of-the-art factories – we are focused on individual and small craftsmen for their artisanal skills that have been handed from generation to generation with a sense of passion and purpose.
