Just a moment of reflection while I wait for some veneer to arrive for the “Origami Chair.” I’ve had a lot of help along the way, thanks to everyone whose been a part of getting me to where I am, couldn’t have done it without you folks. I only have pictures of a few of you, but this post is for all of you.
I know it has been a long time between posts, the business and life side of all this took priority for a little while. Through January and February I was preparing for and exhibiting at the Toronto Interior Design show as well as relocating to Brooklyn, New York.
In this post is a picture from the show as well as the most recent piece produced, Rocking Chair No. 1. It is walnut construction with a steel subframe, the steel gives the piece the structure it requires to take the load of a person. The cool (and somewhat unexpected) thing about it is the chair has no noticeable flex from the cantilevered seat or back, but has a slight flex side to side. It allows the back and seat to move independently from one another as the sitter adjusts in the chair.
I will go back in the coming weeks to post the process of creating this chair as well as posting about a new chair commission I am in the midst of currently designing.
Thanks for following, hope you enjoy.
Shooting Dining Chair No. 6 in Toronto. Always a relief when we get to this stage.
Setting up to take some photos of the Dining Chair No. 6 mockup.
Snapped this Marilyn Monroe inspired shot by total fluke while adjusting/testing the settings on the camera.
Timing is everything, better to be lucky then good, isn’t that what they say?
