CHAINSAW

Crescent Chainsaw Chair

This chair becomes the talking point of any room. Carved from one single 4’ diameter white oak section, the Crescent chainsaw chair is minimal in form and loud with sheer volume. The angle that the seat is carved into the tree section is surprisingly comfortable.

CHAINSAW ARM CHAIR

The chainsaw arm chair balances rough carved mass with geometric tubular ‘lightness’. Each uniquely rough chainsaw carved seat is surprisingly comfortable, with a relaxed angle and supportive curves. The roughly carved seat is sanded smooth, leaving evidence of the tool marks on the wood. The massive log is set on top of a brushed steel tube base, showing the contrasting methods humans leave their marks- free hand carved vs. machine extruded.
