Thos. Moser Spring 2012 Catalog

handcrafted american furniture

Spring 2012

40 years of handcrafted american furniture

Our Ellipse collection, like all collections we’ve developed over the years, was designed to achieve lasting permanence in both its construction and its aesthetic relevance.

The inspiration for Ellipse is found in the simple, functional elegance of mid-century modern design. This movement evolved during the years following World War II, when Europeans were eager to rebuild their homes and resume their lives.

As then, today’s consumers have become more discerning. With this new collection, we’ve created furniture that economically demonstrates superior durability and restraint in the use of raw materials.

Ellipse represents a simpler interpretation of the Moser tradition. The bed’s head and footboard are carefully crafted for maximum strength. The dressers and side tables demonstrate the elegance of fine joinery. The gentle ellipse form is evident throughout the collection in subtly tapered table legs and integrated curved drawer pulls.

The Ellipse Bedroom collection is a study in elegant simplicity, and our standards remain unchanged. When you choose Moser, you’ve earned our commitment. And we’ll stand by it for a lifetime.

ellipse Vertical Dresser

With six grain-matched dovetailed drawers, the precision of this dresser exhibits the skill of our craftsmen to achieve fastidious tolerances—using nothing more than an experienced eye and steady hands. With gently tapered legs that extend through the structure, this dresser combines function with grace.

ellipse BeDroom

From its unadorned, graceful headboard to the structural simplicity of its footboard, the beauty of the Ellipse Bed lies not in what it is—but what it isn’t. It isn’t unnecessarily ornate. It isn’t ostentatious. It is a study in the relevance of wood, of fine craftsmanship, and of joinery techniques that have served craftsmen for centuries. See page 21 for bed sizing information.

“We started collecting our pieces when we married. Rather than buying each other “stuff” for birthdays

or christmas, we decided that it would be much more fun and meaningful to buy a new Moser piece that we

could share together. So, we have a nice little collection going that we plan on keeping in the family.”

— Ann R. & Mike C., Ardmore, PA

ellipse liVinG collection

The hallmarks of simplicity, superior durability and careful restraint in the use of raw materials are evident in the details of our Ellipse line. Arms float on carefully joined through-tenons. End grains are exposed and polished. Profiles are clean and space-efficient. Throughout the line, the gentle, organic curve of the ellipse is evident in the tabletops, seat backs, and gently sweeping chair arms. Built in cherry or walnut, the design and construction of the Ellipse Living collection will serve for generations.

FOr A LIFETIME

OF LIVIng

When you purchase a Thos. Moser

piece, we enter into a lifetime of service

based on trust and commitment. If

you are not wholly satisfied with any

standard Thos. Moser product, we will

refund or replace it within 30 days of

purchase. And once you have

purchased a piece of our furniture

from us, we will guarantee our

workmanship for your lifetime.

When you spend as much time thinking

about and making something as we do,

you tend to get emotionally invested in

the end result. We want our furniture to

exceed the needs of the person who

purchases it—our goal is to craft a piece

that will engender the same pride of

ownership that we feel in making it. To

this end, our concern for quality goes

far beyond our workshop walls.

harpswell DininG chairs

The back crest of the Harpswell chair is carved from a single piece of cherry to reveal the growth rings that add nature’s fingerprint to the piece. Well-padded seats and optional backrests can be upholstered in mohair, leather, and a wide variety of fabric options.

GeorGetown DininG taBle

The grain-matched legs of the georgetown tables are individually shaped to create facets that capture light and shadow. Each leg is reinforced with triangular wooden splines that are wedged into the mitered joints. The result is a distinguished table of uncommon strength and stability. The double Pedestal table expands to seat 10 comfortably.

“We wanted to create a warm, inviting,

and comfortable space for our great

room. The Edo chair and dining table,

with the New Harbor lounge chairs and

Round Vault table, were absolutely

worth the wait! A rare combination of

stunning beauty and amazing comfort.”

eDo DininG

A distinct nod to the East, the Edo dining collection hints of primitive form. Open lines and simple shapes belie the deliberateness of the furniture’s design. The collection is both modern and ageless, effectively creating a harmonious flow between nature and craft.

“There is nothing more beautiful than the functional artwork of Thos Moser furniture. We look forward to our next piece.”

— Donald T., Ellicott City, MD (customer in residence alumnus)

aria DininG

The curved staves that form the back of our Aria chair are grain-matched, carved from solid cherry, and attached to their mates through concealed alignment pins, resulting in an exceedingly comfortable back. From any vantage point, this collection is an ode to the subtle and delicate refinement that can be coaxed from a block of wood.

pasaDena DininG

The Pasadena dining Table encompasses the best of high-craft and new-tech skills: simple to look at, yet extremely complex to make. A sculptural “poured” edge draws the eye and the hand over the sides of the table. The Pasadena dining collection enhances the space it inhabits, without overpowering it.

catena chairs & harVest taBle

delicate in appearance, the catena chair is sturdy enough for everyday use. Its hand-shaped crest is wedged at the corners and held in place with flexed ash spindles. Knee braces eliminate the clutter of stretchers between the legs.

The flexible drop leaf Harvest Table provides a welcoming dining surface for family and guests. Handsome rule joints provide a smooth, trim finish. With the leaves down it can easily tuck against a wall to maximize space and act as a serving or display table.

eastwarD chairs & Boat top taBle

The Boat Top Table is constructed using four aprons to support the legs and top. The two aprons that give the table the “boat” look are created using bent laminations, with the outermost layer matching the surrounding wood in both color and grain. The Eastward Side chair is one of the most comfortable dining chairs you will find. The back crest and flexible ash spindles arch backward at the perfect angle for the human spine while curved cherry knees firmly support the legs without hindering the sitter.

“It is significant to me that we are celebrating this milestone anniversary,” says founder Tom Moser. “We started the business as a labor of love and as we grew knew that we were making a difference. We have come a long way since those lean early years, and for that we are grateful to our loyal customers and to the all the men and women who have been part of our shop family.”

Throughout the evolution of the company and its wide variety of product introductions, the Moser aesthetic has remained a constant: “It is through simplicity of form and attention to detail and proportion that we achieve a well-designed piece, and a piece from which nothing can be taken and to which nothing can be added. Forty years have passed and our commitment to the craft and to our customers remains the same.”

“My husband and I bought our first piece of Moser furniture in 1981. Our children are now building their own collections of Moser furniture and occasionally persuade us to give them one of our pieces. We all like the ease with which the furniture has fit into our homes and blended with our decors. We cherish our Moser pieces because they are timeless and so easy to care for.” — Chantal & Michael J., Alexandria, VA

winG liVinG collection

As designer david Moser is fond of saying, “every furniture design informs those that follow.” The Wing collection is a prime example that highlights this across centuries. Its lineage can be traced back to the 18th century’s iconic Queen Anne chair, whose sophisticated silhouette made it the most prized seat in an English sitting room.

Our Wing chair brings fresh relevance to an old form. cradling the spine, thick cushions envelop the sitter, while carved and polished solid cherry armrests gently support at just the right height. Each piece is designed to be viewed from all angles, whether arranged to stand in the middle of a room or flush against the wall. Alone or grouped, the Wing pieces make a graceful contribution to both modern and traditional settings, and can be upholstered in leather as well as fabric. See page 21 for fabric information.

If you prefer another species of wood, we can substitute almost any native hardwood of your choice. With every-thing we do, custom or standard, we intend to provide you with a treasured heirloom.

In the beginning, we only made custom one-of-a-kind furniture. Today many of those custom pieces are now standard designs in our catalog. We still continue to offer custom pieces upon request. We can modify the length, width, and height of our pieces—or customize drawers and shelving to meet your precise requirements. case pieces can be customized to create media storage that won’t overwhelm the rest of your room.

The customer in residence program is a week-long intensive internship for our customers who want to experience the process and satisfaction of building Moser furniture for themselves. Each participant works side-by-side with a master cabinetmaker in our shop, who will assist in the selection of raw materials and the crafting of a hallmark Moser piece.

Learn about the intricacies of joinery, the shaping and molding of solid cherry and even how to bring out the natural luster of wood with the right amount of wax and elbow grease. Share your workshop experiences on a daily basis and enjoy two special group dinners with fellow attendees. In short, our program is designed to provide a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for woodworkers of all abilities to polish their craft.

Participants stay at the historic Harraseeket Inn in Freeport with ample free time to explore Freeport and surrounding areas. Each customer in residence session ends with a special ceremony during which participants and their Thos. Moser partner sign the piece they have built.

Stay tuned as we gear up to launch our new customer in residence Weekend Workshops this fall in celebration of our 40th anniversary.

For details, please contact us at [email protected] or call 800 708 9041 and ask for Steve Wyman.

What began as a special request from a customer to come to our shop and participate in the creation of a desk has become a full-fledged program that has

attracted participants from around the country. Our Customer in Residence program gives our customers the opportunity to come and spend a week building

their own heirloom piece under the guidance of a mentoring cabinetmaker.

TO SuSTAInABILITY

walnut assumes a deep chocolate brown color, then lightens over the years to a honey brown. Maple, on the other hand, begins the color of pale ivory and over time darkens to an amber hue. Building furniture with these native hardwoods from sustainably managed resources is a fitting embodiment of the Shaker belief in living a principled life, encompassing sustainability, land stewardship, innovation and quality in work.

Thos. Moser furniture is principally built from premium-grade American black cherry. Sustainably harvested by family-owned mills in the Allegheny forest of Pennsylvania, our cherry is distinguished by its rich grain figures and a lustrous surface patina that deepens in color over time.

While we avoid exotic wood species due to environmental concerns, we also work with responsibly harvested ash, maple and walnut. When polished and oiled,
