Chairs

Three ways of making a chair live side by side. Some are cast as a single shell and polished, with the surface left rough where the metal cooled except at the edges. Some are bentwood: one continuous line of timber from arm to base, lacquered by hand. The rest are upholstered forms set inside a plated frame, where the frame and the arms are deliberately different materials and neither is hidden.

Dining chairs work as a set — six around a table read as a ring of small sculptures rather than a row of posts, because each leg is a polished form and not a dowel. Lounge chairs and rockers are single pieces; the rocker's curved rail is what makes it move rather than merely lean. Seat height and width can be adjusted; the shell profile cannot.
