Ovo Dining Chair
Starting at $5,700 USD
The RW Guild Original Designs OVO collection is inspired by the curving, organic shapes found in nature, and particularly the ovate-shape leaves that have a narrow top and wider base, and grow on the trees on the Montauk property of co-founders Stephen Alesch and Robin Standefer. The Ovo Chair has a gently sloping rounded back and a slender void along is spine evoking the midrib of the ovate leaf. Each solid wood, made-to-order piece is offered in a range of hardwoods and finishes, and handcrafted using time-honored techniques. Pair the Ovo Chair with the Ovo Table.
Choose from a selection of Signature and Distinctive hardwoods with natural finishes.
Stephen Alesch and Robin Standefer’s Roman and Williams Guild Original Designs are each branded with our insignia and delivered with a Certificate of Authenticity.

About the Designers
Stephen Alesch and Robin Standefer are the founders and principals of Roman and Williams, Roman and Williams Guild, La Mercerie, and Guild Gallery. In addition to finding and assembling the world’s most prodigious artists for their modern guild of the senses, the husband-and-wife team prolifically makes, creates, and leads. In their work, nature serves as a timeless source of inspiration for the future of how we live.
The collection is inspired by the beauty and symmetry of the ovate leaf shape, which is wider at the base and tapers toward the top.
In a two-year design process, pieces of wood were sculpted together resulting in an incredibly comfortable chair.
DESIGN THAT INTERPRETS THE PURE AND COMPLEX GEOMETRIES OF NATURE
The soft edges of the collection evoke how wind, water and air wear away sharp corners over time.
