Sombrio Chair

In the 1990s Sombrio Beach was a place were people from all walks of life were free to express themselves. Located on the South coast of Vancouver Island, children were born and raised on its warm sands, and lulled to sleep at night to the crashing of its waves. In the late 90’s the provincial government turned Sombrio Beach into a Juan de Fuca park, and kicked out the iconoclasts who called it home. My chair is a call back to Danish modern chairs, and shaped to reflect the changing nature of Sombrio Beach from a communal, non-conforming natural space to a much more structured reflection of the modern world. The chair is designed to be flat packed to accommodate its place in an ever-shifting, global economy.
