i was completely floored when mike brought home this amazing chair! with summer in full swing, i've been on a hunt to find cool outdoor furniture...a very difficult task. unless of course, i were looking for wrought iron or wicker (yuk). so, the question is what do you do when you can't find what you're looking for?...you build it! it's amazing that mike built this prototype out of 1 sheet of veneer plywood. not only do i love the design, but it's so comfortable! i can't wait until he finishes the whole set...it's just what i was looking for.
