Meet the Harvard Hurricane, inspired by 17th-century French craftsmanship and reimagined for today.

The circular base is wrapped in a straw marquetry technique that requires harvesting, splitting, flattening, and hand-laying lengths of natural rye straw by skilled artisans in intricate geometric patterns. The craft originated in 17th-century France, where it adorned the furniture of royal courts, and remains one of the most labor-intensive techniques in luxury interior design, an Eichholtz accessory worth showing off.
