THE BIRTHDAY STOOL
ABOUT
This low back chair / stool in solid oak was inspired by a Pierre Chapo upholstered chair and originally made as a gift for my partner. I love the visual weight lended by the thickness and size of the seat juxtaposed with the sharp tapers of the legs which make it look like it wants to walk away. The half lapped cross style construction of the legs which sets the legs on a diagonal is both honest and interesting. The resolution of the back crest rail joining the legs set at diagonals is a testament to handwork and careful joinery; it is delicate and elegant and makes the chair special. We finish the chair in a natural oil and wax but can use a durable low sheen spray finish for a small upcharge. It is available in various woods.
