Fallingwater Chair

$2,200.00 incl GST (Blackwood or Jarrah + fabric/leather at cost)

“The Fallingwater was designed for clients who had inherited long lengths of 100mm2 Australian red cedar from their grandfather. The dimensions of the stock pretty much ruled out curves. Fortunately, they liked the aesthetic of Arts and Crafts furniture, so it was a happy design journey.” – Evan Dunstone

Shipping & Delivery Information

The Fallingwater is unlike any other Dunstone Design chair. Normally we design our chairs with a specific ergonomic imperative driving the initial concept. How the chair “looks” is usually a by-product of the ergonomic solution. In this case, the commissioning clients, Mandy and John, had inherited some 100mm x 100mm Australian red cedar from Mandy’s family farm. They wanted a set of chairs made and they also liked Arts and Crafts style furniture.

We don’t normally work to a “style”, but in this case the available timber sections were perfect for a straight-backed Arts and Crafts inspired design. The Fallingwater has an echo of the Arts and Crafts Movement, with more than a passing nod to Frank Lloyd-Wright (hence the name Fallingwater).

Unlike most Arts and Crafts style chairs, the Fallingwater is actually comfortable (George Rennie Mackintosh chairs and Frank Lloyd Wright chairs were pretty uncomfortable by modern standards). We made sure the curved back slats offer positive lumbar support.
