Ox Bow Chair is for all the cross-legged sitters of the world.
For three months, I worked on a chair which was made for those who loved to sit criss-crossed. Through studying my own behaviour, and body dimensions, I mocked up and then made a final iteration of a chair fit for my preferences. During this project, I learned joinery, wood turning skills, and developed an appreciation for craftsmanship. This project was made possible with the help and support of Professor John Kriegshauser, IIT.
