Buddy was born from the desire to create a fresh-yet-familiar wood chair for both commercial and residential spaces. We began by building a full-scale prototype in our Minneapolis studio to work through visual details and comfort adjustments. The base was then refined to its simplest form, while retaining rigidity and strength for the rigors of commercial use. Finally, bent plywood was unconventionally juxtaposed against a solid wood base to create a design that is effortlessly au courant with a gentle nod to the past.
