Low Rider — by RAM Furniture

The Low Rider is a lounge chair designed by Joram Schurmans for RAM Furniture. Low-slung and deliberate, it is a chair that commits to its position — close to the ground, unhurried, built to be sat in rather than looked at. Though it rewards a long look too.

The frame is made from plum wood: a dense, fine-grained hardwood with a warm reddish-brown tone that deepens with age. The seat is shaped from Italian walnut, chosen for its rich figuring and smooth surface. Where the two meet, a brass detail marks the joint — a small, considered moment that ties the materials together without overstating itself.

The Low Rider is part of the RAM Furniture collection, a line of furniture designed and made with the same attention to material and craft that defines Chosen Objects as a whole.
