A Simple Chair
Oct 24, 2012
Woodworker: Mark Koons
It took nearly 2,000 hours over 10 years to fully develop the design and build this chair. Koons scaled and proportioned the chair to accommodate a wide range of body types and to permit many postures in relaxed but alert conversation. The beech chair is made up of nearly 200 pieces, mostly tapered veneers for lamination. It is finished with milk paint and Ceramithane, a waterborne acrylic urethane. The upholstery is kangaroo hide.
