Michael Boyd Slot-Back Arrowhead Chairs in Ebonized Wood with Leather and Mohair – Set of 4

$12,000.00

Striking and sculptural, this set of four Slot-Back Arrowhead Chairs by California-based designer and preservationist Michael Boyd blends postmodern rigor with primitive geometry. The chairs feature Boyd’s signature “arrowhead” side profile—precision-cut and cantilevered for both drama and balance—alongside hand-stitched leather backrests and deep blue mohair upholstered seats.

A thoughtful homage to the Bauhaus and Brutalist eras, the chairs exemplify Boyd’s focus on honest materials, architectural form, and functional beauty. Crafted in limited numbers, these chairs have become highly sought after by interior designers and collectors of contemporary American design.
