The SP210 Rocking Chair by Shawn Place
Shawn Place, a Canadian designer/craftsman, has sent us photos of the SP210 Rocking Chair he has created, and recently exhibited at the IDSWest show in Vancouver.
The chair is made of rift-cut white oak with a soap finish, and hand woven binder cane for the seat and backrest. Every piece is hand-built by Shawn Place, from the shaping of the timber to the weaving of the seat.

Nicely done but not groundbreaking. In fact, pretty derivative.

Looks absolutely lovely; there is more than a hint of what looks like a sort of minimalist, Japanese-inspired design at work here.
I’d love to have one, only I couldn’t find it on the site (much less pricing) and I’m sure I couldn’t afford a piece handmade by the artist, much less an appropriate room to put it in.
