Painted steel and bleached white oak interpretation of a chaise, distilling typical chaise lying/sitting functions into simple planes and shapes with refined connections. Solid steel and wood impart a hardness and density to the parts, while various shades and tints of green confuse the eye, sometimes emphasizing forms sometimes obscuring them. 

A chair from solid steel bars and ash, painted with a shifting green to pink gradient. 

Steel and aluminum chair, the aluminum barely finished with the steel painted two closely related yellow tones, shifting and defining/obscuring parts of the form. 

First of the recent series, Chair 1 is a take on a telephone chair form. It was the first piece in which experimentation with shifting color and incongruous formal relationships was exlpored. The linear parts of the structure are solid steel bar, while the large volume is hollow. The maple seat surface is softened along two edges but kept in close relationship with the adjacent steel surface to allow planes to relate without requiring a direct and logical meeting. Blended welds and radiused corners reference castings, bringing softened qualities to the steel form and keeping it in balance with the wood seat portion.
