Child’s Desk Chair
Both the seat and backrest are made of bookmatched, figured cherry. All components are cut from the same plank.
Proportioned for a child, this chair was made to go with a drop-front desk posted elsewhere in this gallery. Both the desk and chair were gifts to my then-5-year-old granddaughter. Built for comfort and durability, the chair has a dowel-mounted, self-adjusting backrest. Since it was constructed to complement a desk made for a child’s artwork and supplies, the chair is also sculpted for aesthetic appeal. The influences of Sam Maloof and a touch of Tage Frid, evident in the design and details, are gratefully acknowledged. Like both the desk and the child, the chair is aging beautifully. Cherry. Oil finish.

Very beautiful work! All I can say is WOW.
Beautiful chair, with great intentions. Great craftsmanship, wish I could see it in person! Love the aesthetics of those sculpted folds in the legs; nice touch.
