Wrought Iron

The choice of materials when designing can be a slow and sometimes arduous task. Much maligned in the design world, wrought Iron is normally associated with a more craft or folk approach to furniture, but the thin section used here allow for a very light result. I have no idea why, but i am drawn to objects which have three distinct elements, interacting with one another, and the Iron, ash and upholstery in these 1950's chairs works for me. Really nicely balanced, with a good stance, big, and yet delicate, they have good presence and personality.
