Howard Butler

Seven Legged Chair

Commission, Chair

Probably the only chair you will see with seven legs. This is a bold design statement made with contrasting timbers to accentuate the dovetail joints which are the main feature.

Roots

Sharp to look at and comfortable to use with a subtle taper to seat slab and rake on back splat.

Shape and Form


All legs are dovetail section making it interesting to look at from any angle and creating some great shadows from soft lighting in the room. The tall back has been scalloped out to give head clearance; a great design feature with practical application.
