Windsor Chair

This project draws inspiration from the classic American Single and Double Rod-Back side chairs, chosen for their striking blend of simple geometric shapes and elegance. The design is refreshingly minimalist, free from unnecessary embellishments, making it both lightweight and refined.

Shaving horse

A shaving horse is an essential tool for traditionally building a Windsor chair using only hand tools. Constructing this device was the first stage of the Windsor Chair Project. During the process, the team encountered several challenges, such as working with raw wood and adopting traditional bodger techniques. Along the way, they also acquired new skills, including log treatment using hand tools.
