 | This dinning chair creates an unusual and original shape by developing two symmetrical halves, connected in two places with a medium other than timber A challenge to confuse the sculptural and utilitarian nature of the chair. |

Marilyn took 250 hours to design and construct during which made seven full size variations, nine jigs and hid 30 high tensile screws within a custom manufactured aluminium tube. H110 W46 D56 cm or H43' W18' D22' | | | | The process of designing became quite complex - the chair is one of the most complex pieces to design because of the required strength, the strain on the joints, the need for light weight and the fact that all angles are exposed. I was lucky enough to have assistance of Neil Erasmus. | The chair’s contemporary look comes from using aluminum material and orange upholstery. In my work I believe that all the joinery should be exposed and should be a feature of the piece, so I used finger joints in the front of the legs and dowel joints in the seat base construction. The backrest of the chair uses a wedge joint. All these traditional joints use aluminum as a contrasting medium. The finish of the chair is natural LIVOS oil. | | . . : : PORTFOLIO PAGES (PDF format)
