This chair is made of cherry cut into a chunky, brutalist grid of panels evoking the old paneled doors in my 1903 farmhouse home. Exposed bridle joints emphasize the muscle of the form. To contrast, the inner seat and upholstery soften the feeling of sitting in such confinement.
I challenged myself to build this piece with exclusively natural materials, landing on Walrus Oil’s plant-based oil and furniture butter for the finish. In the summer of 2022, cattails arrived on the wind to my pond, and to deter them from completely taking over, I harvested the seed pods (sausages?) in the fall. Using a mixture of old upholstery techniques such as webbing, stuffover, and bridle ties, I tamed fluffy cattail seed into the shape of slipseat cushions and wrapped them in a cotton-linen blend fabric that perfectly mirrors the seed fluff’s oatmeal color. Made to be repaired as needed, the upholstered cushions are secured with brass screws and velcro.
