Growing up in the Northeast, a hallmark sight of fall was the piles of leaves that would accumulate over the weeks of September and October, mounds of vibrant brown and red taller than the seven-year-olds trying to jump into them. 

This chair pays homage to the seasonal activity of raking in autumn leaves and feeling the vibrant summer fall away into a steely winter. Its severe angles and towering scale bring an ‘American Gothic’ sensibility to childhood Americana, making for an almost sardonic contrast.
