Pick Up Sticks

Pick Up Sticks was born out of the desire to create a genuinely comfortable armchair where the upholstered component is produced separately, so the chair can be be custom-made in the fabric of the buyer’s choice, and delivered with a fast turnaround. 

Ideal for residential or commercial use, Pick Up Sticks celebrates its solid oak frame, which is enhanced with refined profile details.
