'Bregalad' Child's Armchair
Handcrafted in solid oak, with walnut inlay and milk paint. Exploring asymmetry, tactility and playfulness, this piece was inspired by observations of my baby son at play. Uninterested by smooth polished surfaces, as soon as he gained mobility he was drawn to handles, hollows and hinges, to the rough underside of rails, to screw holes and frayed upholstery. With idiosyncratic components and multiple textured surfaces, this chair is simultaneously sensory toy, seating and object of beauty.
