The tripod chair is designed for transition spaces especially those in a museum which connect major galleries.

The chair uses maple wood for its aesthetically pleasing and light weight appearance. Challenges faced in designing and making of this chair are of critical dimensions and angles, and to be able to support a human comfortably on the tripod bottom. The design incorporates techniques such as steam bending, cross lamination, and the use of dowels for reinforcement. The tripod chair is inspired from Danish and Finnish furniture design styles.
