Under the personal guidance of master craftsman Jimmy Moore their name has become synonymous with high quality, and each item bears the signature of the artisans that created it. Each piece is born from solid woods, soft leathers, and fine fabrics that are handcrafted for a look and feel no machine can match.

How comfortable can an all wood dining chair be? When careful attention to details and shapes are considered the answer is great. The Star dining chair from Sibau of Italy is smoothly carved and contoured, for a seamless, almost one piece look. Sibau was established in Friuli in 1964 and continues to put old world craftsmanship into a remarkably modern product. Close cooperation with renowned designers has kept the mostly dining oriented collection in the forefront of the local and global market. The Star collection includes a dining, and dinette table base which mimic the chair design. Available in Cherry and Wenge.
I have had several inquiries about these chairs. First off they are extremely hard to find. The Star chairs were made in Italy in the 1980s. There is little information about them in publications or on the internet. The last set I saw for sale was a grouping of four chairs for $3,600. If you see these in your local resale shop, be sure and grab them up before a dealer gets them.
