Horseshoe Armchair
The design for this chair was inspired by a 17th-century Ming Dynasty horseshoe armchair on display at the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Massachusetts. Dozens of sketches later, it took on a look more reminiscent of a chair by the Scandinavian designer Hans Wegner.
The horseshoe-shaped arm was formed with a bent lamination and is joined to the front posts with pegged bridle joints. The chair is constructed of mahogany with an upholstered seat and ebony accents.

So beautiful and very graceful. I can see the Wegner-esque proprtions, especially inthe angle of the back legs. Fantastic.
Very beautiful!!
Excellent chair!. The exaggerated bent back splats are my favorite part. They draw my eye up the chair.
Nice job done dude!
