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)
