Joint Effort

AS BK/BARRIT , the 45-year-old Philadelphia-based chair manufacturer, continues to work with designer William Sklaroff, the team expands on their original seating collection. Together, they have created a new series of crafted wood chairs, including the Renza lounge chair (with a recessed or fitted arm); Daiquiri with solid cherry arms; the classic wood Rex XX stacker; and the Kiara guest chair with slat back.
