The Post collection is a seating range produced by RAD Furniture in collaboration with Los Angeles-based designer Sam Klemick, comprising a lounge chair, bench, and ottoman. The collection adapts Klemick's original wooden Bell Chair into metal, with heavy cylindrical steel legs forming the structural base of each piece. Cushions are attached to the frames using fabric ties and are available in corduroy upholstery across several colorways, including burgundy with a gloss black powdercoat and a deep warm brown. All upholstery fabrics carry Greenguard Gold certification.
The Post collection was presented at Afternoon Light during NYCxDESIGN 2026 in New York. RAD Furniture was founded in 2010 and is focused on craft and durability in everyday objects. Sam Klemick spent 15 years working in fashion before transitioning to woodworking, where she developed her practice around fabric, quilting, and hand construction. The Bell Chair was previously made to order and produced entirely by Klemick.
