Independently Designed and Built Chair

This chair is my final project for the Fine Furniture program. We were required to create dining chairs that would fit into a standard Fedex shipping container. My design was inspired by mid-century modern design and especially by the work of the Eames. I was also interested in expanding my experience using bent laminations. The entire piece is made from reclaimed local western maple and doorskin. I made all of the maple veneer myself.
