Kotlik Reading Chair — Leather

ELZORVAN Wood — furniture with grandchildren in mind
Every house needs one chair that belongs to somebody; the Kotlik is usually claimed within a week — pitched for books rather than naps (though it forgives them), with an ottoman cut from the same hide.
The joinery works in solid oak, walnut and ash, air-dried three years before the saw earns its say. Frames are mortise-and-tenon, tops are breadboard-ended against the seasons, and finishes are oil and wax — surfaces that mend with a cloth rather than fail with a scratch.

Care
Keep solid wood a metre from radiators and out of noon sun; wood moves with the seasons and forgives households that remember it is alive. Breadboard ends may proud a millimetre in January — that is engineering, not error.
Hinges take a drop of oil yearly; drawers a candle-stub of wax on the runners. Everything else is decades.
Questions, Answered
Can I order a different finish?
Oil tones and wax colours are chosen at order from the house book; painted finishes are a commission with a stated lead time.
Is the furniture solid wood?
Solid oak, walnut and ash throughout — tops, frames and drawers; veneer appears only where marquetry asks for it and is stated when it does. The chalk under every piece names the joiner.
