Very comfortable, completely original and ethically sourced design handcrafted from 2 inch Western Red Cedar to become a treasured heirloom, equally suited to the living room or beachside. Very manageable and back separates from base. On this chair, the back is not an afterthought...The (patent pending) back adapts to movement of the occupant avoiding contact with spine while providing a gentle lift and great lateral support without feeling confining. Also incorporates a super strong 3 axis (patent pending) dovetail joint to allow a more open design by using a cantilevered arm. Other woods available as well as different back configurations, shapes and functions...from $2450. Can be individually tailored as requested. Satisfaction guaranteed. Mobile studio/showroom van for onsite custom projects and providing a firsthand experience with furniture, or welcome to visit the studio. Thanks for your interest!
