Here is my latest office chair Maloof inspired but my own design. I keep changing the design a little till I’m happy!!!I bowed the front leg for more thigh room ,changed my spindles making them “sleeker”looking.Last two pics are shaping- 1st free form shaping on the band saw (maloof style) I can hear his words “don’t try this at home”2nd pic grinding in the arms to flow into leg

Looks like a lot of lower lumbar support. Great looking chair.
