2009
The She Said chair is sterling example of graceful carpentry. Manufactured from solid wood, the impressive form is achieved by using machinery usually reserved for producing products from plastic. The imaginative application of this technology to wood, creates the smoothest sophisticated curves in beautiful, tactile wood.

“In terms of scale, character and features, a chair is often the most ‘outspoken’ piece in the room.”
Nitzan Cohen
The She Said chair is part of the He Said / She Said wooden range that includes dining chairs and bar stools.
The She Said chair is all gentle curves and roundings, while the He Said chair has protruding armrests, attached at more of an angle.
It is novel in furniture to have a male and female derivative of the same chair.

Sturdy Comfort
The She Said chair has a gently curved seat and a rounded backrest that firmly supports the individual, with sloping armrests at an optimal height. The product is available with an optional removable seat, covered in supple leather.
Quality and Craftsmanship
The She Said chair cannot be produced without excellent knowledge of woodworking, craftsmanship and technology. The smooth geometry that forms the back- and armrests, is something normally only found in molded plastic. The legs and seat are more simple, with excellent handcraft employed to connect the elements seamlessly.

Care Instructions
Wood: Wipe dry with a dry, soft cloth in the direction of the wood grain. Clean the surface periodically with a soft cloth dampened with a quality cleaner formulated for wood furniture. Liquid spills should be immediately dabbed dry and wiped off. Make sure that your wood furniture is not positioned close to heat sources, so that it does not dry out and become brittle. We recommend that wood products should not be exposed to intense sunlight for prolonged periods of time as ultra-violet rays may eventually damage the finish.
Do not use an abrasive material on the wood.
Leather: Occasionally remove dust from the leather with a damp, lint-free cloth. Small soiled spots can be gently removed with a colourless eraser. Liquid spills should be immediately dabbed dry and wiped off with a little water. Once a year, the leather should be treated with a special leather care product, but never with any type of strong cleansing agent. Only use quality leather products which do not leave residue. Oily build-up on the leather makes it susceptible to bacteria, which can destroy the leather. Clean the stitching with a soft-bristle brush.
Make sure that your leather furniture is not positioned close to heat sources, so that it does not dry out and become brittle. In addition, we recommend that leather surfaces are not permanently exposed to intense sunlight, because direct sunlight over an extended time period can diminish the quality of the leather.
Leather can be treated occasionally with conditioners to keep it in its original state. Liquid spills should be blotted up immediately, not wiped. For daily cleaning, dust leather with a soft cloth.
