Prototype Arm Chair
Woodworker: Matt Berger
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.
