Scroll Chair
The form of this chair is derived from my love of calligraphy and curves. I am fascinated by the idea of a curvilinear form simplified into a chair. The drawings I created were translated into Rhino and manipulated into a chair form. The seat and back are vacuum formed laminated plywood over a CNC’d mold. The pattern cut into the wood creates a forgiving surface to make a more comfortable experience. A slip roll and Di-Acro were used to create the curved steel frame, at which point the joints were TIG welded together. The leather accents are to soften the impact of the steel feet on a floor, to give visual interest and to add a hint of color. The final product is sanded and finished with polyurethane.
