A fresh derivation of the seminal English Windsor Chair, our Catena Arm Chair finds the perfect balance between light and substance. This chair relies on hardwood knees, not spreaders, freeing plenty of space for resting feet and legs, and vertical components crafted from ash- a resilient, durable wood that provides stability in the legs, and a hint of flexibility in its slender back spindles.

A celebration of simple elegance.
Designed with a nod to the traditional English Windsor Chair, the Catena Arm Chair achieves all of its antecedent’s comfort with a fraction of its mass. Made with joinery techniques that permit an open, airy form, this chair is marked by its use of two species of North American hardwood. The combination is visually engaging and structurally sound, with durable ash legs, tensioned ash spindles, and seating surface, arms, knees, and back crafted in a choice of our favorite hardwood.
Chosen by Pope Francis as seating for his 2017 visit to Philadelphia, the Catena Arm Chair is the most recent Moser design to earn high profile appreciation.
Anatomy of the Catena Arm Chair
The Knees & Legs
The Catena Chair’s structure celebrates the interplay between mass and space, with four legs supported by hardwood knees, not spreaders, which free room for both legs and natural light.
The Seat & Spindles
The gently contoured hardwood seat supports the chair’s hardwood arms and back, held together by a series of tensioned ash spindles that provide a hint of flex to enhance comfort.
It’s All In the Details
The Catena Chair’s structure celebrates the interplay between mass and space. Crafted using a combination of carefully selected North American Hardwoods, this chair relies on hardwood knees, traditional joinery techniques, durable ash legs, and tensioned spindles.
