Julia — meticulously crafted using ash wood slats radiating from the chair’s core supported by bars and screws. The form originated by playfully twisting a circular paper armlet, like a Mobius strip. Then came about the idea of wood and metal as materials solidifying the concepts of radial and continuous elements. Each material was carefully thought of, measured and calculated - the numbers, sizes and gaps in between each wood slat and bars, up until the holes on the wood slats. A cushion is added for balance. However, even without it, Julia stands in complete comfort and strength.
