Cork Armchair
An armchair created using laminated cork and western red cedar. This chair is a rejection of the vernacular of cork objects, typically bulky and heavy solid blocks of cork, in favor of a lightweight approach. The chair weighs just under 3 lbs and is made entirely of cork and soft woods. The laminated edge mimics plywood, referencing typical uses for soft wood in the construction industry, and elevating the look of such material into the context of contemporary ornament.
