My son Reid designed and built this chair and in 2008 exhibited it in the Best of University of Wisconsin - Madison show and at the 2008 Furniture Society's show in Purchase, New York.
I had it in my living room for a couple of months and I fell in love with its presence. The arms spring slightly floating on 23 half circles. It's a tour de force of joinery with 128 mortise and tenons. He sold it to a private collector in 2008. I missed it so I built one for myself.
