Chair "To Build" List

Any images are screenshots from various internet searches, videos, blog posts, and photos I've taken from books. The photos are not mine to claim but just serve as inspiration.

Leitrim Chair

Leitrim Chair 1

The Leitrim Chair is named due to its association with Leitrim County in Ireland. It is also associated with John Surlis who was recorded building two of them for a video in the 1980s. I enjoy how wonky and chunky it looks. Comfort-wise, I'm skeptical but it'll be a fun build.
