Windsor Chair focuses on the craftsmanship in the making of traditional windsor chairs. The accented, yet subtle details are apparent throughout the form, bringing elegance and versatility to the design.

My initial approach to the design started from looking at traditional windsor chairs and how individual parts of those windsor chairs were made from different studios and craftsmen. Diving into this project alone, I wanted to make a chair that was more attentive to the relational aspects of all parts of a windsor chair.
