Over the weekend, during NYCxDesign, Rhode Island-based furniture design house O&G Studio delivers an illustrious series of chair designs during their exhibit. Hosted by New York Times’ own Julie Lasky, the exhibition offered visitors a live panel Q&A, a look at the retrospective collection of unique chair designs and a first time chance to get their hands on the newly released studio produced book.
During the event series, O&G Studio & NYT’s Julie Lasky discussed the brand, the chairs on the display, and the newly released book with O&G Studio Founder Jonathan Glatt. Their talk was focused on O&G Studio’s new Chair Compendium, a book showcasing the entire line of O&G Studio Windsor chairs, stools, settees and benches developed by the studio from the last 15 years. Notable styles showcased include The Colt High-Back Arm Chair and Aquinnah Side Chair.
As the leading designer of Windsor chair collection, the largest collection of handmade, originally designed Windsor chairs in production today, O&G Studio delivered an immersive experience for New York design lovers.
“NYCXDESIGN’s commitment to champion design diversity, makes it the perfect event for our chair retrospective book and exhibit launch. We have always been committed to taking inspiration from the past and filtering it through our own lens to create design that blends memory and invention in pieces which are beautiful, livable and lasting. The Windsor chair is an icon that is perfect in its best past expressions, while remaining ripe for future evolution. .”
Jonathan Glatt
“O&G Studio takes the classic Windsor chair and adds their special touches to have themes seamlessly fit into our modern lives. Their exquisite craftsmanship and talented design team add a unique beauty that grounds our modern living.”
Julie Lasky
The collection dubbed ‘Anthology’ offered by O&G consisted of an immaculate series featuring 38 styles of chair, stool, bench and settee, each available in a range of woods and O&G’s distinct pallette of stain finishes. Offered in two wood choice available in eighteen colors, the offerings give great detail to the craftsmanship of O&G. Each piece is saturated in the O&G finishes which opens up the range to wide selection of applications while the two wood types, ash & maple, add the element of texture. Throughout the series you will take in the distinct details offered like edges that appear crisp but yet smooth & soft to the touch.
As a representation of O&G’s love for the form & endless possibilities within these designs, the Anthology series ranges from the bold to the subtle. In its variations on a theme, it reflects the human experience and the joy of considered and functional design.
