curves & loops is a series of sculpted chairs
it crosses the borders of sculpture and functionality and couples an archaic production method with playful design
in a slow process, each chair is carved by hand out of a large tree trunk
all twelve profiles of the series are a single, curvy, looping line that elegantly incorporates legs, seat and backrest
they share their basic proportions - that are based on the golden section and my signature in the backrest

curves & loops is created with ecological considerations throughout:
from sourcing locally grown trees, a low-tech manufacturing process, to using natural finishes
irregular chainmarks create a subtly textured, sensual surface that gently contrasts the sleek, streamlined shapes
knots, cracks, the seamless grain and other characteristics of the individual tree make each chair a living and unique functional sculpture
curves & loops is available to comission in a choice of size, material and finish
