Great to hear from you Sue. And so glad you’re going to be there. I’m mostly busting to finish mine!

Will email you about photos.

Hi Mark,
Congratulations on your chair! I was delighted to find your website!!
I haven’t had any contact with anyone since George’s funeral. It’s going to be so exciting to meet up with everyone and see what they’ve come up with. Yours is the only one I’ve seen so far….and I’m busting to see the rest!
If you’d like I can email you a photo of mine (or have you already seen photos?) - I haven’t had any feedback yet, and am expecting a bit of controversy. Of course my family say it’s great but they have to!
All the best, and see you in a few weeks,
Sue Rowlands (Kelly)

I think it was wise old Forest Gump who said, “Just build it, sit in it and then tell me how it feels”. Least I think it was Mr. Gump.

Thanks Kari. Interestingly several other people who have seen the prototype like the squared version.

Cool chair, Mark! I like both the CG renderings for their smooth transitions, but the squared up prototype is cool, too, and has more of an Asian feel.

Ah….that explains it then! I should’ve worked that out in hindsight…..der…

Now you’ve confused me! Messing with my head. The first two images are computer renderings. The third - the rough pine prototype - is the only photo. The background of the first image is an actual photo of a gallery. The chair is rendered onto it.

As I look at the third image - where the legs meet the deck - it seems like the image of a chair has been crudely photoshop-ed into the photo. But that is the only real photo in the post! Partly because there are no shadows.

Spooky eh.

Wow. When I saw the first photo, I thought the chair was already complete. Apparently not. How different will the final product be from the original prototype? Or does the design stay the same, and only the mechanics and material different? It looks great!

I have a question about the first photo in this post - how was it taken? It’s messing with my head.
