Nice design and build Ollie
Very good craftsmanship, you should be very happy with your first chair. Although i see some things that could be changed. I can't help but feel that the back is too low to offer any longterm sitting, but hard to tell from a picture. Also, during design of any furniture piece a certain harmony and consistancy throughout the piece should be considered. For example, the back is a graceful curve, but there isn't another curve within the piece so it's a little out of place. So in your next design keep in mind the repetition within the design, and you're sure to see an improvement. Overall, very nice.
Very graceful, Ollie... it looks almost eager to be sat in!
Very nice, sort of a stacking up of pure geometric shapes. I Love the tapered legs, arms and seats. I surprised by the placing of the back on the arms which are on top of the rear legs. It is almost as if you set the back there as an afterthought and said why not. Still, all in all, something to be proud of having accomplished.
