The project was based upon an idea about efficiency - both with regard to material use and with regard to time from first to last moment of production. A computer numerically controlled mill was the vehicle for quick production and all connections and surface effects were worked into a single mill file. The seat and back of the chair come directly from the interior pieces of the arm/leg circuits. With the efficient use of material and precision of the mill, three chairs may be cut from two sheets of 4’x8’ plywood. Connections are notched so that, after one hour on the mill, a mallet and twenty minutes are all that is needed for assembly. The surface effect expounds on the precision of the mill, incrementally stepping away the plywood layers to reveal different colors and contrast.
