Fashioning this kind of weld is difficult, and we relied on a team of highly skilled craftsmen who specialize in a kind of wire weaving that's been passed along from generation to generation. Entirely handcrafted, each chair is made in three stages by teams expert in frame structures, wire patterns for the seat and back and the final welding. Once finished, chairs are given a light acid wash bath yielding a grey iron patina and subtle brass weld marks. The Tig Dining Chair and Cushion are Crate and Barrel exclusives.
