Sal is a hardwood lounge chair inspired by the serene beauty of nature. The flowing form emulates the branches of a tree, featuring organic curves that blend seamlessly into one another. Sal, despite its inherently rigid material, feels inviting and evokes a sense of tranquility. With its wide armrests and contoured seat, Sal provides a comfortable lounging experience for all and brings a much needed touch of nature into any living space.

Through clay sculpting, I ideated the form and applied it to the very contrasting medium of hardwood. Wood shop tools and angle grinders were then used to bring this concept to life.
