In furniture making, the a rocker is a rite of passage. To properly execute a wooden rocker one must integrate physics, ergonomics and sensitivity to the living material that is wood. In keeping with sustainable resource use, this chair is designed to last at least as long as the growth cycle of trees cut for its production (100 years +). Careful contemplation was therefore necessary to yield a design both durable in structure and aesthetic. The Minna Chair represents the synthesis of nearly a decade of experience: a thesis in wood.
