Seating is an unusual topic because we're constantly seeing a battle between design enthusiasts that fight for form or function respectively, but the latter is the main focus within the creations of Taylor Forrest who creates chairs with a harsh silhouette.
Based out of New York, Forrest takes bare bones structures and affixes relatively raw hides from North American creatures to create chairs that are beyond minimal and effortlessly dapper. While the designs vary and feature a variety of different shades, grains and shapes, it's clear that Forrest is a master of their craft that takes distinct pleasure in absolute precision when designing.
The handmade, U.S.A.-source furniture that Forrest offers can be found online where the intricate details can be admired if you aren't within the New York area to visit the showroom.
