Griffith Tablecraft — Pair of Armchairs by Jeremy Griffith | Original Leather, Gently Restored
Description
A rare matched pair by Jeremy Griffith for Griffith Tablecraft, crafted without nails, glue, or metal—just pegged joinery and honest timber. Original leather seats, with colour gently restored to revive warmth while preserving texture. These chairs reflect Griffith’s radical design ethos and regional craftsmanship.
Each chair originally retailed for around $1,700 AUD in the 1970s—equivalent to approximately $15,000 AUD today, underscoring their value and significance
Griffith Tablecraft was more than a workshop—it was a philosophical statement in timber. These chairs are living artefacts of that vision: demountable, regionally made, and deeply Australian in spirit. A rare opportunity to own a piece of design history that speaks to provenance, process, and place.
