This Sapele Serenade chair is by Jared Teiger, an Industrial Design student at the Georgia Institute of Technology. The simple brief: “Design and build an ergonomically considered chair that comfortably fits a range of body types.”
Teiger’s chair is knockout-handsome, and I was equally impressed with his thorough documentation of his design process:
Weaving Studies
Initial CAD
Full-Size Mockup
Refined CAD
The Build
Finished Product
The finished product is stunning.
Tieger’s design won a well-deserved 2023 SIT Furniture Design Award from Switzerland’s 3C Awards design organization.
