Lefty by Clare Pepper
Western Maple, Walnut dowels, 3mm plywood
Natural (Tried and True™) Oil Finish
"The design of this chair was influenced by the maker's love for three legged chairs and a desire to try some unfamiliar hand joinery. The shaped supports for the crest rail, joinery and transitions between legs and seat, footrest, and the coopered seat were adapted from Nakashima, Maloof, and various Danish Modern pieces."
Fit for a Caesar by Adrian Sitter
Western Maple, Bubinga Veneer
Lacquer
Elucifer by Jesse Bifano
Western Maple
90º Gloss Lacquer over Black Automotive Primer
"This chair is designed to be a modernist formal dining chair. The “top to tail” flowing curves viewed from behind were drawn to loosely resemble a human shape; broad shoulders flowing to a thin waistline at seat height. The side view of the chair emphasizes the curve of the chair back which follows the human back. This is accomplished with a slight vertical off the seat height that leads to sweeping shoulder blades before the curves tighten to completion. The chair's horns, asymmetric elements and bell bottom legs were added to offset the human elements and give the effect of something darker and more beastly. Lambskin was selected to contrast the high-gloss black, in keeping the formal elegance of the chair. The chair's name “Elucifer” is derived from twenty hours of culling materials, thirteen coats of primer and multiple clear coats before deeming the project complete."
Thea by Philp Krahe'
Western Maple, Philippine Mahogany veneer on 3mm Plywood,
6061 Aluminum, RTA Fasteners
Oil Finish
"The design influence for this chair is a mixture of the Eames and Danish Modern. No glue was used in this chair so it ban be disassembled and packaged flat and is also customizable because of its knock-down ability. The aluminum braces were drawn on the computer then cut using a CNC abrasive water jet, which would make these parts easy to produce in quantity."
