The solution: For American design & manufacturing company Fyrn, the solution comes in the form of Stemn, their patented components based system of no-glue joinery which enables industry leading durability and as significantly, the ability to repair and refurbish pieces for life after the first use. 

Bellota Blues is a limited edition collection of 110 chairs and stools originating from a 2016 custom commission for the Absinthe Group’s Bellota restaurant in San Francisco, CA. After nearly a decade of reliable service, the Absinthe Group decided to embark on a refresh of the space, shifting from the Spanish Bellota to a new concept.

Leveraging Fyrn’s unique system of furniture, the Absinthe Group chose to make a more economical and sustainable choice - refurbishing existing frames and hardware and commissioning new seats and backs for their soon-to-be launched restaurant.

The remaining seats and backs from Bellota - which are the first and only padded chairs in Fyrn’s award-winning Original Stemn Collection profile, have been restored and individually numbered and are now available for purchase on Fyrn’s Annex, a web-shop for seconds, vintage finishes and other uniquely storied pieces.
