I like your design using the three elements you noted
Beautiful chair. The lines and angles are gorgeous. The craftsmanship is first rate. I like the way the side rail of the seat extends beyond the seat a few inches into the back leg. You nailed it.
Thanks Shrlok!It's hard for me to take design elements from classic chairs and then mix them into one chair.But I'm pleased to step into this phase.Hopefully I can creat my form someday.
Thanks Dan!The chair seat frame were constructed by using Sam Maloof's idea.I thought it would be interesting if I extend the side rail and connect the rear leg(3 degree outward).The result seems good from the look.
Genius.... How much would you charge for one of these?
Ed,this is just my habit.I haven't sold any one of them.But I can tell you it took me about 20 working hours for a full scale drawing(including an ugly mock up sample) and 100 working hours for those joints and sculpture.
Nice chair, I too am fascinated by the melting of modern and classic styles. Look for my post of a chair frightenly similar, yet different. I combined Sams influence with early Danish Modern and a splash of Empire furniture.
Kmack,Thanks for your appreciation!
Here is the story of my work:
Influence- I made 8 pcs of Maloof style low-back chairs and 2 pcs occasional chairs as practice projects before this easy chair.
Style- Searching for the beautiful design elements from Danish chairs.
Material- Looking for the balance no matter on both color and grains.
Precision- Got experience from the first 10 pcs chairs.
