this it the lastest project of mine. It started out as a completly different chair and ended up like this. It is made of tasmanian blackwood and brazilan walnut. The seat is hand shaped to dip in the middle and rollover in the front. The back is also hand shaped and it’s on a pivot, so when you sit back in the chair the back pivots to your angle of sit. This project wasn’t my favorite. But I like the result.

great geometric feel – lines contrasting with the curves that you described. Nice.

Love the idea of tilting back. I can feel the comfort already.
Very nice.

another nice engineering feat and comfortable looking chair. Are you still in school? I’m looking forward to seeing more “kaleo” items!

Thank you both. Yes Mark I am still in school, for at least another 6 months or so, and then back to the states to find a job. If anyone knows of any makers that need a man ,let me know.

Kaleo, your work is always impressive. I don’t expect that you will find it too difficult to find a custom shop that’s needs an artistic craftsman like yourself.

A nice job Kaleo. It reminds me of a Morris style chair for some reason, but without all the bulk.

I bet you will find some work when you return. You should set up your own custom furniture shop. The work you do should sell!

Incredible craftsmanship. It’s just at another level. Thanks for sharing.

pivoting back – great idea. allows for a custom fit no matter how you sit or slouch.

Kaleo, very nice, I love the idea of the two woods. I really gives it a character of it’s own. In trying to decide where to go when you return to the States, I would vote for Seattle, there’s more choices of wood stock. Or you could join us in Alberta, Canada where there’s such an oil boom going on, you can print your own money. Cheers, johnt
