The Oyster
A modern take on a retro style. The Oyster chair was inspired by taking the best of mid-century design and combining it with contemporary lines, to give it a modern day look. The armless design features hand-finished upholstery, fluting and the all important classic cocktail legs, which are made for us in the Cotswolds and have been modelled closely to the originals created by Henry P. Glass in the 1940's.
