Jude, constructed using steam-bending techniques in combination with linear elements and a laminated seat, is a technically challenging chair that uses little material. Its design creates a very light, open object with a small footprint. The tight, steam-bent, curved back gives the impression of a visual embrace. Jude is neither masculine or feminine but rather a graceful marriage between the two. (Solid air and kiln dried cherry, laminated veneer seat)
Delta is a structure that can take on many forms: lamp, coat rack, plant stand, sculpture. It allows the user to dictate its function to best suit their surroundings and daily rituals. (Solid walnut and maple)
