Making The Mantis Chair, A Masterclass in Craft - BassamFellows | Living Edge

Inspired by the noble praying mantis, the signature stance and powerful limbs of this chair offers a study in contrasts. Strong and elegant, sharp and curved, thick and thin - the Mantis is sturdy and solid, yet visually light. Designer Craig Bassam conceived the chair to be a new American classic.
From certain angles, the Mantis Chair feels almost like a piece of sculpture. Carved entirely from solid wood, it is a new alternative to the classic and indestructible courthouse chair. Unlike many of its predecessors, however, comfort is at the forefront, with a commodious, ergonomically shaped seat. A hand-stitched leather cushion can be added to amplify both comfort and luxury

Absolutely nothing about making the chair. Some sanding and someone trying a cushion on. Lmfao
