SPECIAL EDITION: CUMBERLAND
DINING CHAIR WITH RUSH SEAT
When designing Cumberland last year, I considered including a rush seat but
opted at that time to wait. One year later, and with time to reflect, I came back
to the rush seat. I feel it deepens the connection of this piece to the traditions
and history of furniture making while serving as a visual commentary on our
commitment to balancing tradition with an ever evolving aesthetic.
As a form of seating hundreds of years old, rush seats are comfortable and
durable with an average lifespan of 20 to 30 years. Strands of rush are woven
into rope-like lengths in a closely spaced manner around a wooden seat frame
to create strong, lightweight and slightly flexible seating. Several different
types of fibers can be used to make a rush seat such as cattails, bull rushes,
seagrass and the fiber rush employed here.
We are proud to partner with Maine artisan Bernard Zike to offer this special
edition handmade seat for the Cumberland Dining Chair.

PORTLAND
BY BENJAMIN KLEBBA FOR THOS. MOSER
I grew up in Michigan, the son of a craftsman who built the house I grew up in,
the furniture within it, and wooden sailboats our family would take out on Lake
Huron. I swept the floor of my dad’s shop and sanded many boards, making
Adirondack chairs to sell in the summer to make extra cash.
I now live in Portland, Oregon and own Phloem Studio, where my father and I
and a small team make contemporary furniture. I’m covered in sawdust most
days. We keep our furniture simple, with an emphasis on traditional joinery
and natural materials.
I was honored to design a chair for Thos. Moser. Tom’s spindle back chairs
were an inspiration. I wanted to make a side chair or café chair that was strong
but minimal, inspired by Danish modernism and Shaker simplicity, with
exposed joinery and turned and tapered limbs. I named the chair Portland,
after the place I call home and the other, older Portland I was happy to visit in
Maine.

COOPER
BY BRIAN K ANE FOR THOS. MOSER
Cooper (n): a person who makes or repairs wooden casks or barrels

To Cooper (v): to work as a cooper; to work at or do coopering
First known use: 14th century
The centuries old art of barrel making, using the technique of manipulating
staves or individual pieces of steam-bent wood, is the inspiration for
Thos. Moser’s Cooper Chair. Designed by Brian Kane, the name Cooper is
reminiscent of Brian’s longstanding connection to Napa, his second home.
Perhaps the fruits of this valley, contained in the barrels themselves,
have something to do with Brian’s interesting and innovative approach to
coopering.
