Furniture design has long been a passion of mine. Finding a unique piece for a project often means designing it myself. I also enjoy building pieces for my own home.
The Gossip Chair was a piece I created for my furniture design class as an entry for IDI's Chair Affair.
Ebony stained birch plywood was bent into a curvaceous modern form utilizing a vaccum-pressing method.
The "bend" was cured around a form cut to precision by a CNC machine utilizing my CAD drawings.
The "wing" shapes were then cut by hand into the cylindrical form.
A stencil design was cut by hand to add the "graffiti" design to the chair's upholstery.
Many layers of sanding, poly, buffing, and love were applied to create a high gloss sheen and ultra smooth hand.
