Prairie Chair by Von Tundra
American designers Von Tundra have created an oak dining chair with a raw maple seat and backrest.
Called Prairie Chair, it's constructed using pegged T halving joints where the rails sit inside notches cut in the legs.
The project draws on vernacular furniture from the American Midwest.
Here's some more information from the designers:

The Prairie Chair is inspired by a blend of reductive modernism and the tradition of farmer-made chairs across the American Midwest. Carefully considered proportions and no-frills construction contribute to the chair's refined take on simplicity.
