Form & Refine 2023: Quatrefoil
9/11/2023
With "Quatrefoil", Jonas Hermann from Form & Refine has designed a table made of oak, whose legs meet in a line and in this way enable both visual lightness and comfortable sitting.
A true classic made in Denmark since 1936 – where it still to this day is produced by our local joinery. The seat is shaped out of one large solid piece of wood and because of the variations in the woodgrain, every Shoemaker Chair™ is completely unique. Together, the turned legs and the stabilizing T connection create a harmonic and aesthetic piece of furniture with strong references to the Nordic design universe. The construction may look rather simple, but it is technically difficult to master. The solid piece of wood has to be carved very accurately to ensure the highest comfort. At the end of the process every model is finished by hand before going into a three-step process of staining or oiling surface treatments.
