About this piece

Experience the perfect harmony of rugged frontier spirit and refined contemporary design with the Blue Bird Settee. This striking piece is a masterclass in the Western Molesworth style, featuring a handcrafted frame of solid, natural-edged timber that brings the raw beauty of the outdoors into your living space. The rich, dark wood grain provides a sturdy and soulful foundation for the bench’s most vibrant feature: its deep cerulean blue upholstery.

The smooth, high-quality leather is meticulously finished with classic brass tack detailing, creating a silhouette that is as durable as it is visually arresting. For a touch of playful character, the armrests are adorned with crisp white leather fringe and custom-stamped medallions, offering a nod to traditional cowboy regalia while maintaining a clean, upscale aesthetic. Whether placed in a grand entryway, a sun-drenched lodge, or as a statement piece in a modern den, the Blue Bird Settee invites you to sit back and enjoy a unique blend of heritage and high-style comfort.

Lester Santos

ABOUT THE ARTIST

After attending harpsichord building school in Rhode Island, Lester moved to Colorado to build guitars with the Bennett brothers. He moved to Cody to build houses, cabinets, and finally furniture. Lester bridges and blends many styles together in a way no one else has tried, to achieve a look that is not overbearing, but contains many elements. Components of Adirondack, Shaker, Molesworth, New Mexican, and Native American can all be found in his art. His specialty is in working with interior designers to create custom pieces. Lester’s designs have appeared in numerous books written by Ralph Kylloe, Elmo Baca, and Chase Ewald, in Architectural Digest, the TODAY show, and the Home and Garden Network. Woodworking is my religion, the clean line and craft of the Shakers, the natural beauty of a tree, its branches, indigenous woods, people, time, texture, and labor of Love.
