In 2006 or so ago Brian designed an outdoor chair for The Boston Golf Club in Hingham MA. The design was very comfortable and a big hit. But as with any design, ideas for how to improve the comfort, elegance, and structure keep coming in. That is exactly what happened here, this chair is comfortable and very elegant especially for an outdoor piece!

Last fall we introduced our new outdoor chair.  After much searching for the right name for this new addition we arrived at “Sunniva”, a Gaelic name that means “gift from the sun”. The radiating back support and the thought of our clients enjoying sunny afternoons with friends on their deck or gazebo, Sunniva seemed a perfect title for our introduction to outdoor furniture.

This armchair is the first piece of an entire line of outdoor furniture that will also include a cocktail table, settees, gliders, porch swings, curved benches, and eventually dining chairs and tables. This is a huge undertaking and is done in response to an increasing number of requests from clients.

This new version is available in Walnut and Cypress, a very weather resistant woods. The finish is a penetrating oil and varnish mix designed to protect the chair and never peel. The main frame joinery is epoxied double tenons designed to shed water and stay strong for decades. The upper portions are all removable for easy refinishing. Another example of engineering and artistry with the client’s comfort needs at the forefront.
A sound investment in durable goods.
