Planar Chair

The Planar Chair reduces a chair to its essential elements – four planes intersecting in space - illustrating the geometry of the body at rest.

While the planes are expressed as simple rectangles, their orientation in space registers the angles of the human body at rest. The planes intersect equally, so that no plane dominates the others. This intersection of planes, isolated from their infinite projections, illustrates the geometric event.

The Planar Chair is made from common plywood cut with a computer controlled 6-axis milling machine. Deceptively simple, each chair locks together without glue or fasteners, like a wooden puzzle.
