Sculpted Lounge

A mid-century-inspired lounge chair with a steam-bent ash frame and traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery.

The concept

An exploration of negative space. The frame is shaped by hand with spokeshaves and steam-bent to hold fluid curves without breaking the grain.

The seat is upholstered in undyed linen so the structure remains the hero of the piece.

Sample project written for this template; the piece and client are fictional.
