Tish Surprise Chair

This was my final project on my furniture design and making course and I threw everything into it!  It is fantastical and imposing, comes apart for transportation and is multi-functional, has a wine glass holder and secret compartments, and most importantly is comfortable!

The Tish Surprise Chair base dry-fit before final glue up and staining. Such beautiful colours in the sequoia and cedar wood but they all go brown over time so I decided to stain it black.
