Description
A rare Griffith Tablecraft Armchair by Jeremy Griffith, embodying his radical philosophy of timber craftsmanship. Built without nails, glue, or metal—only pegged joinery and honest Australian hardwood—this piece reflects Griffith’s uncompromising design ethos and regional spirit.
Professionally reupholstered in Warwick’s Eastwood Sand fabric, the chair now balances heritage with contemporary refinement. The frame has been carefully cleaned and waxed, preserving its natural patina while enhancing warmth and depth. This restoration honours Griffith’s vision while ensuring the chair remains both functional and striking.
Originally retailing for around $1,700 AUD in the 1970s (equivalent to approximately $15,000 AUD today), Griffith’s designs were more than furniture—they were philosophical statements in timber. This armchair is a living artefact of that vision: demountable, regionally made, and deeply Australian in identity. A rare opportunity to own a piece of design history that speaks to provenance, process, and place.
