Beautifully comfortable chairs that will be passed down through generations

Enquire

”I’ll never forget the first time I saw a rocking chair by Hal Taylor.

It was flawless, a blend of art and comfort. Just like Hal was inspired by Sam Maloof, I was inspired to follow the same path and put my own touch into every chair I make.

My designs stay true to the tradition while adding details that make each piece uniquely mine.”

About

Every chair is sculpted to flow with the human body.

With three sizes, custom timber choices, and timeless design, no two are the same and each one is made to be passed down as a family heirloom.

Heirloom Quality

Each chair is built to last a lifetime and beyond. Every joint, curve, and finish is considered with longevity in mind.

Sustainability

My work gives new life to old timber. Every piece is made using reclaimed or responsibly sourced wood, preserving the story within the material.

Craftmanship

Each chair is made by hand, guided by skill, patience, and respect for the material. No shortcuts, no mass production.

How long does it take to make a chair?

Each chair is made to order. Depending on the timber and custom options you choose, the process can take several months. I will give you an estimated completion date when you place your order, and can send you photo updates along the way.

How do I choose the right size?

There are three standard sizes: small, medium, and large. The best size depends on your height. As a guide:

  • Small suits people 152–165 cm (5’0” to 5’5”)
  • Medium suits people 168–175 cm (5’6” to 5’9”)
  • Large suits people 178–188 cm (5’10” to 6’2”)

I will confirm the right size with you before I begin.

How much does a chair cost?

Prices vary per size:

  • Small: $5,000
  • Medium: $5,500
  • Large: $6,000

Exotic timbers or special requests may cost more. A $1,000 NZD deposit is required to begin, with the balance paid before delivery or collection.

Do you ship?

Collection is preferred. I enjoy handing over a finished chair in person and it avoids shipping damage. If you need delivery we can arrange freight at cost.

Where are you located? 

I'm based in the Lower Kaimai, which is a short drive (10 mins) just out of Tauranga, New Zealand.
