Shah, 2002

reclaimed pine, reclaimed heart-pine.

I use discarded wood and found objects in most of my pieces. I harvested southern yellow pine, salvaged from a 19th century mill building that was torn down in Worcester MA, and douglas fir from the waste box of a high-school in Cambridge Massachusetts. The beams are arranged together as a “bundle”. The stool was also influenced by images of chess boards and chess figurines, while the cross volts underneath the seats resemble architectural elements.
Each of the four legs became one fourth of the stool’s seat. An important feature of the steal is its crosscut end-grain pattern that creates a mesmerizing psychedelic effect of rings and archers.
