We recently spotted these woven leather chairs made by Long Beach, California designer, Eric Trine. While their simple, laid-back beach vibe reminds us of spending a day outside lounging, we think they look sophisticated enough to belong inside too.
Available in a range of custom frame and seat options, each chair is made to order by Trine, who graduated with a BFA in fine arts in Interdisciplinary Studio Art from Biola University in 2007 and an MFA in Applied Craft and Design via Pacific Northwest College of Art and the Oregon College of Art and Craft in 2013. That same year, he was named to Sight Unseen’s American Design Hot List: "a totally unscientific, unapologetically subjective portfolio of the 25 emerging and semi-emerging furniture and product designers we think you should know now."
Suffice to say, we're glad to be acquainted—with Eric Trine and with his Rod + Weave Chair, especially.
