Centuries ago, hard working peasants lived in the Tyrol region of the Austrian, Swiss & Italian Alps. They built furniture for their small, alpine chalets with only their hands & the primitive tools available to them. To bring some joy to their difficult lives they crafted folksy & whimsical chairs, known today as Tyrolean chairs. These chairs were part of daily life when gathering with family for meals, or sharing music & stories among friends. Using only local wood & ingenuity, they created these strong, yet uniquely beautiful chairs. Although difficult to find, most of the chairs that remain today are as sturdy as the day they were made. The Tyrolean Chair. Inspired by creative, resourceful Tyrol peasants & built to last. Now sustainably, handcrafted at a small atelier in the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains in Quebec. > Built using traditional methods > Tyrolean peasant inspired custom designs > Order yours with choice of chair back & finish A single chair adds interest to any bedroom, bathroom, or den. A whole set makes an impressive statement when family & friends gather around your table to dine & share stories. A peasant knows that to do anything well takes time & skill - whether you are writing a story or felling a tree. ~ John Berger Contact Don if you have any questions.
