Douglas: Low Rise Rocking Chair

This personal project is a low rise chair that reflects both my Japanese and Danish ancestry. This piece is truly engineering simplified into beauty. The bent plywood construction not only provides comfortable, ergonomic seating, but is also bent in a manner to strength the product in areas where much force is put onto the joinery. A subtle arc instead of traditional legs provide one of the most structural methods of transferring weight to the ground. A rubber mount provides a pivot point and allows freedom of movement, further increasing comfort.
