It takes a special kind of person to choose to become an "apprentice." A formal learner. A professional trainee. It's not the kind of job you sign up for when your ultimate goal is to make your way to the top of some corporate structure. Instead, apprenticeship appeals to those with true passion, genuine grit and deep appreciation for their craft. Learning, it seems, is goal enough. In that vein, we present our Artisan's Apprentice Barstool. Drawing its cues from the classic schoolhouse chairs of the 1950s, ours takes on a worldly flair with curled iron work, exposed rivets and an integrated belly band footrest. The ample 16" diameter seat is hand-polished to bring out the Dutch white cedar's innate glow. And the open design on the lower leg both grounds and lightens the otherwise architectural look. Perfect for morning coffee, casual entertaining, or plying an artisanal trade of your own.

People take pictures to remember things--not to see how things look. It's a simple thought, really. And one that inspired us to look beyond the mere notion of a mirror as a way to see yourself, and transform it into a way to see your room. Framed and squared, with intricate detail directly on the glass, our Circle In The Square Mirror plays with the idea of shape and sheen, mirror and matte. In fact, we like to think of this piece not simply as a mirror, but as a work of art--a living light sculpture that changes a room's personality with the passage of time each day. In polished metal and glass for a lifetime of reflection.

When the conversation (or the poker) gets particularly rowdy, it's helpful to push back from the table a bit. We like to think we've made that move a touch simpler with our deeply comfortable Country Club Chairs. After all, when a chair is this difficult to leave, the least we could do is put it on wheels. Styled in the traditional club shape, ours features a lush Super Comfort seat, antique brass nail head trim and smooth set, Harness Chocolate leather. The seat arrives in traditional, hand-stretched leather upholstery. Formal in front and business in back, the front legs are lathed and tapered down to their rolling ball feet, and contrasted by smooth, straight legs in the rear. Slightly bowed, 25" high arms are just waiting to support a hand, or a drink. In tone-on-tone Blair.

The finest homes are defined not so much by where we live, but by where we have traveled along the way. Harkening back to the grand salons of 1930s San Francisco, our Exotic Decorative Mirror reflects a rich heritage of found artifacts. Wrapped in faux alligator hide, the stately maple frame features an overlaid brass cage for added interest, surrounding a beveled edge mirror.

Whoever decided to put casters on chair legs obviously knew his way around a Canasta table. When you're engrossed in a doubles tournament, the last thing on your mind is getting up from the game. We couldn't agree more. Our Florida Room Gamer's Chair is designed for play, with a wide, double-padded seat, smooth swivel wheels and generous, low-set arm rests. Styled to match both traditional poker and more contemporary gaming tables, the Florida Room Gamer's Chair doubles as extra seating by the grill. Elegant cathedral style arm supports and wrap-around trim add distinction, while the top grain leather cushion gives long-lasting comfort. The contrast back panel features a decorative, woven water-hyacinth inset (seems we're not all fun and games, after all).

Its chic lines and geometric frame are accented by the effortless elegance of weathered teak. And its minimalistic formality is softened by the deluxe headrest and deeply padded seat.
