flamed birch, steel, aluminum
Constructed from flamed birch slats joined through repeated lap joints, the chair uses a minimal system of connections to produce a rigid, continuous frame. The geometry supports a range of seated postures while maintaining an upright alignment.
Parallel studies in aluminum translate the same joinery logic into metal, introducing a reflective surface that contrasts with the warmth and grain of the wood.
Indeed, the chair is a very difficult object to make.
