Truxton Cahir
-
[trux-ton]
The Truxtion Bistro Chair.
The inspiration was created by true happenstance. While driving I was racking my brain on a new idea for a chair design. When I arrived at my destination there it was, sitting in a most delapated state. But the lines of this little chair gave me great inspiration to create his larger brother. By increasing the seat and back height height, and fattening the arms the Truxton chair come to be. This chair just called out to be upholstered in a black motorcycle leather. Once the chair was complete it felt naked, I once again thought about where I had seen the origional and remembering it was sitting, behind a cyclone fence came the inspiration for the criss cross nailhead design, and of course it had to be a black nail.
