Heart of Charcoal Chair - 2021 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s been a long time coming with this beauty but she’s finally complete! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This meticulously, hand crafted, one-of-a-kind wooden chair required that the team dive into unexplored techniques and experimental strategies. At first glance, the chair appears to be painted or dyed, when it is in fact, neither. We instead took a charring approach in order to reduce long term wear and tear a well as create a more unified hue. Take note of the layered quality this achieves. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Another explorative approach demonstrated we the implementation of compound inlays. The Wenge wood was cut precisely to fit inside the aluminum inlays, which was then merged with the chair. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Lastly, this is the first upholstery project we have executed. Developing our own upholstery methods will unlock unparalleled design flexibility moving forward 🪐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
