The Caligo Twins are a matched pair of turn-of-the-centuryside chairs, reimagined with structure, clarity, and textile contrast. Their upright silhouette reflects Eastlake influence: architectural in line, quietly ornamental, and intentionally restrained. Restored with a modern curatorial approach, the chairs remain visually light while materially grounded.
Each piece is upholstered in Tiano Gunmetal, a printed jacquard velvet from Black Edition’s Nuala collection. The small-scale geometric pattern is rendered in deep gunmetal tones, woven with soft metallic threads that shimmer with movement. At a distance, the fabric reads as rich and neutral. Up close, it reveals intricate layers of graphite, slate, bronze, and muted gold. The result is tailored, dimensional, and thoroughly modern.
The original wood frames remain intact, including crest rails with shallow incised carvings and gently contoured uprights. The front legs are turned and set on period-appropriate casters. Rear legs are squared, offering a simple counterbalance. Light refinishing preserves the age of the finish while enhancing tonal depth.
Sourced from Oxnard, a quiet seaside town in Ventura County, this pair was selected for its symmetry and understated elegance. Their upright profile makes them ideal as host chairs, flanking a console, or anchoring a layered seating arrangement.
The Caligo Twins are part of TheVesperline Collection, a curated offering of heirloom silhouettes reinterpreted through sculptural lines and couture textiles. As a pair, they bring not only harmony, but a mirrored sense of presence and intent.
