2010 Chair
mahogany

Perhaps one of the most challenging speculation piece I have made, this chair required a combination of advanced techniques to bring its lively design to life, while at the same time not compromising comfort. The design conveys movement, counter to the usual static nature of chairs. Built entirely from solid mahogany, the chair uses large through tenon joints for maximum strength at the main leg and back joints, and housed mortise and tenons for the remaining joints.

Designed as an homage to Sam Maloof, and incorporating some of my own design, this rocker features shaped back slats for extra comfort. The runners were also laminated, and the body of the chair was shaped from solid stock.
 

Arched Chair

Built as a companion piece to the Arched Desk, the chair’s back arch and front legs were built using the same taper lamination technique as in the Desk, while standard laminations were used for the back legs. The back legs curve upward and back for good lumbar support. This chair has an upholstered seat for long-sitting comfort.
