So, I wanted to create an iconic shape - something that would fit into the lineage of the reclining body: mies flattened it into a single plane, Le Corbusier traced it in tubular steel, and this piece forms it from a single sheet of wood – structure, seat, and arm in one continuous gesture.

for me this was a stretch - it was an attempt to see how big I could go with a bendable plywood form. this required nearly two full 4X8 sheets of the material. The glue-up on this chair took over an hour, was completely hand done, and used 88 clamps.
