Sculptural Elements

Our chairs express, in negative, an ideal human form
...the subject of sculpture for millennia.  
We create supple and sensuous shapes upon the surface.

By Hand

A machine can make a continuous shape of constant profile. 
A craftsman can sculpt an intersecting shape of changing profile.

Planes, Contours, and Hard Lines

We carry the plane of the crest rail onto, through, and out of the back legs to create a play of light and shadow.

A Contour and Bevel for Your Hand

We bevel the bottom of our Wilson and Williams chair seats to make the seats visually thinner to the front. This bevel serves unseen, but when you reach around the seat you feel it. We have seen dozens and dozens of people smile and pet this little change in angle of surface.

IP 62 Edit

One Part Flowing into Another

The arm of our rocking chair appears to grow out of the back leg.

(And the strength of that connection rivals that of limb to trunk.)
