Steel chair (minus the cushion) from the Willey house, fabricated by the Norris brothers. The thin industrial material captures the essence of the folded paper origami:
pic 1. detail of inside arm with inside back. note there are no 90 degree corners. The top plane of back cushion follows the angle of back crest rail and angle of the arm.
pic.2. detail of front leg with rubber covering the bottom of metal slipper.
Yes. All 60 & 120 degree angles.
Two are up and running. I still need to build and finish one for the exterior.
The wood is mahogany.
The trunk is a folded miter, mortised and tenon to its base.
Candelabra sockets with 7 1/2 watt bulbs.
Finish is shellac and Johnson paste wax.
Hi Folks, I am new to this discussion post re: the various origami chair designs. Is there a general agreement of which plans are best to purchase?
Thanks!
