7. Organic and CNC Chair

USC: Fall 2022

Scott Mitchell

Over the semester the class designed two projects, a table and a chair, and built one as a test design. While both projects inspired me, the opportunity to use branches to create a chair using a combination of organic and cnc materials sounded like an interesting challenge.

All of the base, supports, and arms of the chair are branches that were cut from trees. I then cut them down to the length I desired and sanded and rounded out the edges. The cnc portion of the chair is the back rest and seat, the back rest has a cut out of the tree of life.

There is no hardware used throughout the chair, it is tied together with leather to give a rustic feel.
