Program Description:
The mid-century modern era was an exciting time for design. The combination of the craft revival movement with playful new organic shapes from danish and American designers alike birthed some of the most iconic pieces of furniture that became the new heirlooms of tomorrow. In this course, we will explore mid-century design as students build their own lounge chair. Over 5 days, your instructor will begin by guiding students as we select lumber for clarity and grain. We will shape the frames using hand tools, and router jigs, and create joinery for the chair using traditional and modern techniques. In the final steps, we discuss the process for making your own upholstered cushions [or sourcing from your local upholstery shop] once you get the chair home. With a maximum of 8 students, you'll receive personalized instruction in a fully equipped machine room.
