The Greensboro Chair, a collaboration between Cedric Hudson and designer Ben Boutros of BENNU, is a striking piece crafted from bold Peruvian wood with rich black streaks. Inspired by mid-century modern design, the chair features interlocking joinery and cross-section upholstery, paying homage to the 1960 Civil Rights sit-ins in Greensboro, NC.

This design symbolizes the resilience and strength of the demonstrators who made history by refusing to relinquish their seats, embodying the enduring spirit of their cause. Explore more of Hudson’s work on the Contemporary Athletics website.
