These chairs were part of a commission to design and build ten side chairs and a massive dining table from two slabs of Oregon myrtle and walnut. The backs are 5 ply tapered bent laminations pressed around a form to create the proper lumbar support. The spare look leads people to think that the chairs are uncomfortable, but a test sit quickly dispels that notion.

"Those are beautiful chairs, but are they comfortable?" and after a test sit "Ooooo! They are comfortable!"
