Wooden Chair
Maple & Steel
While studying in the furniture department at RISD I created a series of chairs that sought to cushion the sitter without using traditional cushioning or soft surfaces. The contoured seating surfaces of the chair were designed first in CAD before being CNCed and finished by hand. The steel frame carefully cantilevers both seating surfaces such that when weight is applied they bend in a reclining gesture, cushioning the sitter.
