american bungalow c o l l e c t i o n
american bungalow bedroom asian tradition holds that meaning is revealed in the tension created by opposites. we have realized our vision of this idea in the american bungalow bed by juxtaposing gently curved halfmoon caps against a floating headboard. The effect brings to mind Kanji calligraphy and the Torii gates found at Japanese shrines.

“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

meridian dining david moser’s acute sense for aesthetic detail is found in the fine radius of the meridian chair’s underside, the inverse matched radius at the top of the leg, and the optical correction affected by the termination of the chair’s crest. The strong, single back slat is a first for david and accentuates the sleek lines. Shown above: dining table $3,600 | dining chair $1,100 | sideboard $6,000
ellipse dining ellipse is functional, elegant and 100% moser. using distinctive design elements like visible joints, exposed end grains, gentle elliptical forms and space-efficient profiles, ellipse is among the most elemental collections we have ever designed. at Thos. moser, elemental means beauty, economy and the uncompromising craftsmanship ever synonymous with our name.

our commiTmenT To SuSTainabiliTy
Thos. moser furniture is principally built from premium-grade american black cherry. Sustainably harvested by familyowned mills in the allegheny forest of Pennsylvania, our cherry is distinguished by its rich grain figures and a lustrous patina that deepens in hue 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,
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.

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. Shown left: arm chair $1,300 side chair $1,175 arm chair w/back (far left) $1,525
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.

aria dining The curved staves that form the back of the 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. Shown above: arm chair $1,950 | side chair $1,750 | dining table $5,900
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. Shown left: side chair w/back $2,100 | arm chair $2,500 dining table $6,200 10

upholstery, wood species & finishes We offer a wide selection of the finest quality fabrics and leathers. We’ll assist you with fabric and leather recommendations, and we offer a convenient sample review service. You can also choose to supply a fabric or leather of your own. Please call for pricing. We prefer to use an oil-and-wax finish, which allows air and sunlight to naturally color the wood. our linseed oil and wax finishes are easy to maintain and becomes more beautiful as the wood’s natural patina emerges. our furniture is principally built from premium-grade American black cherry. While we avoid exotic wood species due to environmental concerns, we regularly work with responsibly harvested ash, maple and walnut.

Tom circa 1977 in our original workshop at the old Grange Hall in New Gloucester, Maine. “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.” — Tom moser. 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.

our chaise is a celebration of both the art of design and relaxation. designed in a collaboration between Tom and david moser, our 2–position chaise takes its inspiration from designs created by european architects in the 1920s and 1930s.

The geometry of each windward sofa back requires 26 separate pieces and 42 precisely fitted mortise-and-tenon joints.
