The Sweeping Ash Chaise
Published · Updated
Long strips of pale ash sweep from the low foot of the chaise into an open reclining seat. The wood rises again at the head, curling around a small cream cushion. Broad arches form the side supports, with slimmer ribs stretching between them. The spaces between the strips make the chair feel light, while its clear joints and firm contact with the floor give the curved form a practical structure.
Fine grain follows each bend, and the layered edges reveal how the timber has been shaped. Soft window light brings out the warm variations in the wood without a glossy finish. Around the chaise, the garden room remains simple: bronze window frames, a plain timber door and worn pale stone underfoot. Wet ferns and copper leaves fill the enclosed garden beyond the glass. The whole chair is visible, allowing its flowing profile and construction to become the focus.
