This chair consists of two pieces of hard wood (seat and back) jointed at the back of the seat. The back tapers slightly and is characterized by leaf-like carvings. A small heart is cut out of the upper, central area of the seat back. The chair's seat is a simple slab of wood. The chair has four legs, each flaring outwards and tapering as they meet the floor.
