Bridge-Inspired Chair
Jun 04, 2013
Woodworker: Yoshimitsu Motoyama
Motoyama has long admired the stylish strength of bridges. The construction of this hard-maple chair (47-1⁄4 in. deep by 28-3⁄8 in. wide by 36-1⁄4 in. tall) reflects that admiration. The curving main frames that support the chair are bentlaminated from 5⁄32-in.-thick maple strips and connected with mortise-and-tenon joinery. The finish is oil. The dyed cane seat is woven in the style of Danish furniture designer Hans Wegner.

This is literally the best designed chair I have ever seen. It's so simple, yet so functional as in architecture. Genius!
