In the 44 years I’ve been making furniture, one of my very
favorite designs has been the Harpswell chair. Launched in
1992, Harpswell has since seated Pope Benedict XVI in 2008 on
the lawn of the White House and then, remarkably, Pope
Francis in 2015 in Philadelphia. It’s no surprise I suppose that
this quietly dignified chair remains our most popular to this
day. Its striking simplicity appears to hold a universal
appreciation, much to our delight. The great sculptor,
Constantin Brâncusi, said of design:
“Simplicity is complexity resolved.”
Maybe that’s it. Within our family of 70 master craftsmen at
Thos. Moser, the success of Harpswell is well understood to lie
in the perfect balance of precision in technique, simplicity of
design, and respect for the wood as the premium material of
its making. Harpswell: one of my top three favorites.
In Florida this past year, while escaping the harsh Maine
winter, I couldn’t escape my calling. My bones needed warmth,
but my hands needed to make, and my soul needed that
personal connection with craft, with Auburn, where I have built
a life full of meaning. Just as the Shakers put their “hands to
work and their hearts to God”, I too felt the necessity to
contribute and to elevate my calling. Whether from my sense of
responsibility, my curiosity or, perhaps closer to the truth,
from my creative stubbornness, I was drawn back to the
workbench, yet again, by a simple cafeteria chair of steel and
plastic that Mary and I spotted on a ferry from Maine to Nova
Scotia. What made it remarkably comfortable was its simple
back that curved to support the lumbar in two directions at
once; a geometric detail that I later discovered is called an
anticlastic curve – like a potato chip.
Three iterations later, I believe I have achieved my most
comfortable solid wood chair yet. I trust you, our customers, to
be the judges. I have decided to call it Auburn, my new favorite
chair.

A number of years ago, a long time admirer of Thos.
Moser and fan of Tom’s Continuous Arm Chair (TMC),
asked of son, David Moser, the following question:
“As an accomplished designer and maker in your own
right at Thos. Moser, one with a more contemporary
aesthetic yet iterative sensibility, what would your
take on Tom’s TMC look like? After all, if the TMC
interprets a classical Windsor, what could its sequel
be in the hands of a next generation Moser?”
As the only American makers showing at the
Scandinavian Furniture Fair in the mid 1980s, Tom and
Mary witnessed something they already knew to be
true: that the best design is often incremental, building
over time on work from the past.
Years later, David himself confirmed, “Though we are
innovators, the Moser aesthetic is iterative and almost
always evolutionary, owing deference to antecedent
form.”
That iteration then was the challenge, and Sequel is
the result. Tom’s Shaker round stand, a long-standing,
easy favorite for its simplicity and grace, is also
represented here by David, completing the pairing and
its contemporary evolution.

Since 2007, our Customer in Residence (CIR) program has welcomed
hundreds of customers, from across the country and around the
world, to our Auburn, Maine workshop. During the week-long CIR
program, our master cabinetmakers guide each participant through
every step in the production of their very own Thos. Moser heirloom
— from raw material selection to the finishing process.
If you — or someone you know — share our passion for fine
woodworking, the CIR program offers a unique opportunity to learn
the intricacies of traditional joinery, the satisfaction of shaping fine
hardwood, even the discriminating process of applying natural
finishes to achieve the perfect luster. You’ll have the opportunity to
interact closely with the Moser team and with fellow attendees,
sharing experiences during daily meetings and at two special group
dinners during your visit.
Participants stay at the historic Harraseeket Inn in Freeport with
ample free time to explore Freeport and surrounding areas.

GRACE FARMS
At Thos Moser, we are designers and makers of functionally-driven,
handmade furniture of the highest quality in both materials and
woodworking expertise.
As designers, we address a given set of challenges, and as makers, we
craft the solution. Whether from architects, designers or residential
clients needing custom solutions, those wide ranging challenges
invite partnership and most importantly, collaboration. With some 70
experienced craftsmen, as well as skilled specialists, including
designers, engineers, and project managers, it is in partnership that
we shine.
Whether the solution is a single table or a collection of seven hundred
chairs, as in the magnificent Grace Farms sanctuary space, we rely on
our vast capabilities in craft to inform the best possible solution.

A FAMILY IN THE MAKINGIn 1972, when Mary and I started Thos. Moser Cabinetmakers,
we took a leap of passion and began a life of making. Along with
our sons, we committed to a philosophy of ‘good work for its
own sake’. As it turns out, the rewards have been many and
diverse, but none have been greater than the extended family
we represent today.
This past year, we celebrated the veterans of the Thos. Moser
family that have been with us for twenty years or more, and my
greatest pride is in each and every name on that list. Without
these individuals, and those they have gone on to inspire, we
would be just purveyors of furniture, and we would not have
lasted 44 years. They have my eternal gratitude.
Tom Moser in his Dingley Island shop (handmade flag available in two sizes at thosmoser.com)
“My debt is to our family in Auburn. They are Thos. Moser; not me, them.”
