Material / Character

Softness.
Gloss.
Grain.

The quiet sheen of lacquer meets the expressive grain of cerused wood. Leather brings softness; metal grounds the composition. Each material has its own voice within the whole.

Form study / Exploded axonometric

A dialogue
of parts.

Seen apart, the chair reveals a rhythm of enclosure, support, and openness. Seen together, these gestures become a single, quietly expressive form.
