- Unique Properties
- The Bookchair is more than a stool or a chair. It is a sculptural study in geometry and symmetry. Every angle is meticulously calculated to bridge the gap between furniture and art. While its 18-inch height offers utility, its true purpose is to cradle an open book, an invitation to slow down and reflect. More than a functional object, it is a quiet gesture of intentionality, designed for those who value both form and the written word.

European Walnut, White Oak, Brass solid rod.

- Production Technology
- Crafted from solid white oak and European walnut, the Bookchair balances warmth with structural depth. A central oak disc anchors the piece, distributing force where three angled legs converge. For engineered stability, four 1/3" brass rods act as discreet tension relievers at key junctions. Each surface is hand-finished with natural oils, creating a matte, luminous texture that preserves the wood's tactile essence. It is a marriage of meticulous joinery and organic materiality.
- Inspiration
- Guided by geometry and architectural symmetry, the Bookchair is a study in visual clarity. Inspired by Lina Bo Bardi, whose furniture blended modernist rigor with Brazilian vernacular and handcraft. It blends modernist rigor with Brazilian cultural honesty. This piece honors Brazilian modernism through a balance of function and sculptural form. Whether supporting an open book or standing alone, it exists at the intersection of utility and art. An object to be used, and one to be contemplated.
- Project Duration
- Conceived in Miami in May 2023, this project was prototyped over two months and completed in July 2023. It is an exclusive one-of-one piece; all remaining prototypes were destroyed in July 2023.
- Operation Flow
- The Bookchair can be used as a normal stool seating functionality, but also can serve as a book display.
