Our furniture is functional and meticulously detailed, made from wood selected by Robert at the saw mill. The joints are hand fitted and the finish is laboriously smoothed and hand polished.

In an April 2001 review of rocking chairs the Atlantic Monthly magazine wrote "Perhaps the highest nexus of art and ergonomics is the Erickson chair."

"Nothing is as luscious as good rich black," my 9th grade art teacher, Miss Souther, explained. And nothing shows off the ebonized oak or madrone in an Elemental Rocker as well as African bubinga backslats and pegs. When Mike Richter, the New York Rangers' All-Star goalie, had back problems a couple of years ago, he flew to Los Angeles to see a specialist. He also started spending more time in his handcrafted rocking chair, made by Robert Erickson, a woodworker in Nevada City, California. The Atlantic Monthly, April 2001 ( read full article ) Bent lamination is the Modernist technique at work here, a variation on the style promoted by Charles and Ray Eames.

Tashjian Chairs in quilted maple (with red leather seat) and bubinga (black leather.) These chairs are workhorses built to be used at the computer, desk, and drafting table. When I first turned my attention from living room and dining chairs to a working desk chair, I spent a year buying and testing every desk chair base I could find. I even worked with a machinist to create one of my own. For comfort, durability, and looks, I believe the base I'm using now is the best on the market. A nitrogen-filled gas cylinder in the base column allows for height adjustment. A strong adjustable spring mounted on the underside of the chair seat lends the chair a cushioned tilt, described by many sitters as "floating." The chair tilts 19° from upright and can be locked into position at any angle. The carved wooden handles on the adjustment mechanisms are by Holly Tornheim, an accomplished craftswoman. California black walnut. This leaf table seats six comfortably in the small configuration. With one leaf added, it seats eight, and with both leaves, ten.
