In collaboration with the New York Public Library, we’ve designed a chair that is more than just a piece of furniture for its patrons – but also a symbol of the Library, its mission and its vision for the future. The last iconic chair commissioned by The New York Public Library was for the reading rooms in the landmark 42nd Street Library in 1911. The NYPL Branch Chair by Thos. Moser will serve the great public institution and the communities it serves for decades to come.

True to our mission, The New York Public Library Branch Chair honors quality in craftsmanship, design, and tradition – and we hope it serves as inspiration for the next generation of designers and makers.

The Arm
The NYPL Branch chair’s signature arm stems from the front of the arms and opens into a sweeping curve that cradles the occupant for hours of comfortable sitting.
