Circa stacking cafe chair

Industry Partner: Woodard Furniture, 2026

An aluminum indoor/outdoor café chair that plays with the familiar typology of the European bistro chair. The recognizable silhouette is sharpened through tapered tubular legs and a more architectural stance, while the lightweight aluminum construction allows the chair to stack and makes it especially suited to hospitality environments.

I like the idea of working with a familiar type and changing it just enough to make it feel new. Circa is simple, graphic, and practical, with a character that can move easily between hospitality and residential settings.
