OdeChair: Contemporary organic chairs from Jolyon Yates

Okay, these can be pricey, but if you find Wendell Castle a bit overwrought, check out Jolyon Yates’ furniture designs, hand made in Northumberland. We asked Jolyon for a bit more info about the pieces, and then asked him if we could paste his comments right here.

I have been working in the car and the boat industries for many years as well as in University, teaching. The ODE chairs are kind of a reaction to loveless mass production–the rather lofty ideal emanating from the suspicion that when we mass-copy an object, the love that goes into designing such a piece is largely lost.
