Erosion Chair
Physical ProductErosion Chair is a meditation on time and natural processes. Each chair is hand-carved from sustainably sourced oak, with patterns inspired by wind and water erosion. The organic forms create a unique seating experience while celebrating the beauty of natural decay patterns.
"This chair was born from observing coastal rock formations and how water shapes stone over centuries. I wanted to capture that same sense of natural transformation in a functional object."
