Page Chair

Cantilevers made possible by joinery, comfort through careful application of ergonomics.

Book matched walnut, maple, oak, cherry

The Page Chair was made as a gift for my dear friend who generously donated his basement to me as a place to live and work while I established myself in DC. I saw this chair in my mind two or three years before I figured out how to make it real. The original featured a Ginkgo wood seat, from a tree that grew on the street where we lived. To achieve the floating back slats and cantilevered two legged design required most of everything I knew about woodwork and a fair bit of dreaming beyond.
