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.
This briefcase was created using a different style of joinery ( short spline, long spline, box joint and rabbit) in each corner of the box. It also has hand made wooden hinges.
This lamp was designed and built for an assignment that required the implementation of bent lamination. The shade is a bent lamination using a number of layers of veneer pressed in a vacuum bag over a form I created.
