Giving Home Offices New Style

The style of modern home office furniture tends to run along a basic theme: tiny black swivel chairs for students, imposing leather chairs for executives, and a limited collection of pressboard desks with “modern touches” like metal tubing or glass tops. Though a reasonable workspace can be built around these pieces, they lack the warmth and personality afforded by log furniture. And when a workspace is cold and clinical rather than comfortable and inviting, it can be difficult to concentrate and complete tasks in a timely manner.
A chair like the Montana Office Chair can be the beginning of comfort in a home office. The upholstered seat, back, and arms offer support for long hours in front of the computer, and the seat itself can be adjusted for both height and tilt. And, just like other “executive chairs,” it swivels for easy access to nearby shelves or file cabinets. Handcrafting makes it a cut above what can be found at office supply stores.
Hand-peeled lodgepole pine logs make up the base and frame of the Montana Office Chair. Using a draw knife, the logs are peeled with a technique called skip peeling, which leaves behind some of the tree’s inner bark. This creates a mottled effect that complements the dark color of the upholstery and makes for an attractive addition to rustic décor. To leave this look as is, the chair may be left natural or finished in a clear coating. Optional Glacier Honey finish gives the wood a deeper color. Any finish can be incorporated into the style of today’s home office.

Home is all about dependable comfort, a kind of welcome you don't find anywhere else. If there is one thing you can count on to last, its solid wood furniture. The most comfortable furniture in every room was made to be lived on, rather than looked at. I've found the best investment and timeless charm comes from log furniture. The living on it just adds to its character, and it works in just about every decorating style. For me, rustic decor makes perfect sense and log furniture is part of that look, no matter where you live or play.
