teakwood beauty. designed for the shower or outdoors.
i first came up with the idea of creating an original design for a chair. I then looked at the work of other artists in books and online to get inspiration. i developed Black Beauty by looking at literally 1000 chair designs in a book of that title. next, I dashed out many quick doodles and select the most promising one to work up into a more finished charcoal drawing. i then made a small model, full- scale plans and mock up for this project. my interest in learning the processes of steam bending and ebonizing wood drove the piece.
Demilune Sunrise has torpedo legs, a veneered quilted maple fan top, and a brass pull reminiscent of cloth tassels. this bubinga beauty is inspired by the work of Emile-Jacques Ruhlmann and the Art Deco Movement.
this piece is constructed with a pattern of purple heart, yellow heart, wenge, and bubinga. clean lines, proportions, and style make this bench very inviting.
