Michael Hasler, MM Cherry Armchair (Furniture)

Cherry armchair, showcasing the use of hand tools with an approach to not using mechanical fixings. All components have been hand-shaped with an emphasis on displaying traditional woodworking joints. In the designing of this piece, I wanted to ensure the back was as important as the front. Being a centre piece of the living room, it needed to wow from all angles. Finished with a soft wax oil, making the arms enticing to touch.
