Single Gustavian Side Chair

When Sweden's King Gustav III returned from France in 1771, he brought home a love for all things neoclassical. Under his influence, European taste was distilled through a distinctly Scandinavian lens to create the pure, minimal and quietly sophisticated style now known as Gustavian. This single chair has all of the look's hallmarks: a pale, whitewashed palette (that's original paint, by the way), elaborate carving that's intricate but not showy, unmatched craftsmanship and subtle artistry. Pull it up to a desk or vanity, add it as an accent to a larger seating group. We think you'll find the piece's timeworn finish and modern diamond motif to be astoundingly versatile.
