Designed to be both functional and visually striking, the Vivien Chair is built from a series of carved components, each joined with traditional mortise and tenon techniques. The craftsmanship is not hidden, it’s celebrated. Gentle join lines, tactile transitions, and expressive wood grain bring character and depth to the piece, highlighting the natural beauty of the ash and the expertise of the hands that shaped it.
Handcrafted at De La Espada’s solar-powered factory in Portugal, this chair reflects the brand’s commitment to enduring design and responsible production. The White Oiled Ash finish, applied by hand, gives the chair a light, natural appearance while allowing the timber’s grain to remain beautifully visible. Built to last and crafted to be admired from every angle, Vivien offers a sophisticated and sculptural addition to dining spaces.
White Oiled Ash Timber
Sourced from Portugal, Spain and France, European Ash is a versatile hardwood admired for its strength, straight grain, and understated natural beauty. Finished in a soft white oil, the timber takes on a lighter, more contemporary character while remaining easy to refresh over time, helping it stay beautiful through everyday living.
Sculpted Vivien Curves
The Vivien Collection showcases De La Espada’s mastery of solid wood craftsmanship, defined by flowing curves, traditional joinery, and a distinctly sculptural silhouette. Each piece is formed from carved timber components, carefully joined to appear seamless, revealing beautiful grain patterns and the quiet precision of expert hand finishing.
Intricate Joinery for Lasting Integrity
Rather than opting for simplified construction, De La Espada products are composed of multiple precisely crafted components. This intricate joinery allows for optimal timber grain direction, refined shaping, and durable long grain-to-long grain bonds—resulting in furniture with unmatched depth, strength, and detail.
From Forest to Finish
Produced in De La Espada’s solar-powered workshop near Portugal’s Silver Coast, each piece is crafted by independent master artisans. Combining modern precision with traditional handwork, the process is tailored to bring out the finest qualities of every material used.
