Details & Options
Designed by Jasper Seating Company
Boston traces its roots to the 1920s, when Jasper Seating Company introduced its enduring interpretation of the classic courthouse-style chair known as the 980 series. Built using time-honored steam-bending techniques and solid American hardwoods, Boston represents a legacy of mid-century American craft. It continues to be made in the same Southern Indiana community where it first took shape.
“Great design lasts. We make furniture that’s built to live longer than the spaces around it.”
