The Musicians Chair
Sep 27, 2023
James made this chair for his daughters to practice cello. The details derive from the cello itself and from musical notation. The legs and side stretchers mimic a 16th rest symbol; the thin alternating walnut and maple laminates comprising the back represents the five-line musical staff; and the seat and back echo the shape of the cello body and the conductor’s tuxedo, respectively.
