The Conoid Rocker
The master, George Nakashima, created the iconic “Conoid” chair - a two-legged dining chair. I set a challenge to see if we could craft a two-legged rocking chair. From that initial spirit of challenge, the design took on a life of its own, yielding this almost spine-like (or Viking ship) work. It has a natural flow to the aesthetic and the functional movement.
