The Affinity Classic Alumni Chair (ACAC) is the Most Comfortable College Hardwood Chair available anywhere.   Amish Made in Ohio!

The design of the Affinity Classic Alumni Chair (ACAC) originated around the turn of the century around 1900. This art deco office chair is made in our small shop near Berlin, Ohio in the heart of Holmes County, located in one of the largest Amish communities in the United States.

The expertly sculpted back and arms and uniquely shaped seat are the keys to the extraordinary comfort of this art deco office chair.   Other college chairs cannot compare because they are made of straight turnings in the traditional Windsor style.   This is a difficult chair to build, and it requires extensive labor and skill to construct the continuous, flowing crown and arms that appear as one piece.in this hardwood chair.

One commercial furniture company builds a chair that is somewhat similar to our ACAC Chair.  However, the price of that chair is approximately three times that of our Classic Alumni Chair, and their chair is a factory chair and certainly not of Amish origin.   Throughout college chair history, the standard chair for collegiate market has been the black captains chair.  Our Classic Alumni Chair is far superior in construction and far more comfortable than any black captains chair.

Only our Affinity Classic Alumni Chairs are Amish Made and Made in America, entirely.  The ACAC is both a timeless masterpiece and a great bargain.  Customers have requested this college hardwood chair for their offices (with and without logos) simply because of this college chair’s extraordinary comfort.  The Affinity Classic Alumni Chair is a perfect donor award, graduation gift, and retirement gift.
