An attempt to provide an ethereal, peaceful place to rest; springy, airy mattress support provided by cambered wooden slats.
Works quite nicely in a large selection of woods.

Shown in bubinga, East Indian rosewood and lacquered maple; 62″ x 82″ x 32″ (queen size).
Can be made to any mattress size. Side rails lift out for easy storage/shipping. Mattress sits on wooden slats for slight springiness and good air circulation.

The Leviathan chair is extraordinarily comfortable due to a generously curved back rail and strong lumbar support, all shaped by hand with a spokeshave. The design for this and other dining chairs is purposely kept quiet as dining chairs are almost always part of a larger composition, and should not overwhelm. The name has an interesting origin.

All good furniture must strive for a balance between beauty and function. Seating increases the difficulty by adding the problem of comfort. Now make the piece move…a rocking chair…and you have perhaps the ultimate furniture designer/maker's challenge. I am pleased with this result.
