An armless, legless chair made up of contrasting dark and light wood is fabricated in a continous serpentine cantilever shape. The alternating patten of dark brown and bleached wood bands are of varying lengths. The stripes/bands intersect randomly creating an abstract rectilinear pattern. The multiple pieces fit together seamlessly.

Here we have a white monochrome chair that is one curving unit. Despite a see-through and minimalist structure, it has all the parts of a chair including a back, seat, and support but as a long board that is bent into dramatic arches to create a self-supporting piece of furniture. The top of the chair has a bending back and seat in an L shape form, and the seat gradually curves forward to a front supporting 'leg,' which curves upward into a U shape to meet the bottom of the seat, only to curve downward again to create support in the back. The front 'leg' tapers inward slightly, creating a concave, more pronounced left and right support angles for the front curve. The chair legs resemble a single wave, and the intersecting bands create diamond, hollow repeating designs that create surface support despite its minimal use of material.

Here we have a black and white chair that is one curving unit. Along with geometric diamond pattern, it has all the parts of a chair including a back, seat, and support but as a long board that is bent into dramatic arches to create a self-supporting piece of furniture. The top of the chair has a bending back and seat in an L shape, and the seat gradually curves forward to a front supporting 'leg,' which curves upward into a U shape to meet the bottom of the seat, only to curve downward again to create support in the back. The chair legs resemble a single wave, and the black and white diamond patterns are rigid but are small and nearly hollow repeating designs that create the feeling of flexibility. The front 'leg' even tapers inward slightly, creating a concave, more pronounced left and right support angles for the front curve.

Here we have a two-color patterned chair that is one curving unit. Along with puzzle piece design, it has all the parts of a chair including a back, seat, and support but as a long board that is bent into dramatic arches to create a self-supporting piece of furniture. The top of the chair has a bending back and seat in an L shape, and the seat gradually curves forward to a front supporting 'leg,' which curves upward into a U shape to meet the bottom of the seat, only to curve downward again to create support in the back. The chair legs resemble a single wave, and the puzzle piece patterns are rigid wood in appearance but are small and nearly hollow repeating designs that create the feeling of flexibility despite interlocking parts. The front 'leg' even tapers inward slightly, creating a concave, more pronounced left and right support angles for the front curve.

An armless, legless chair made up of alternating black and white standard puzzle pieces is fabricated in a continuous serpentine shape. The overall pattern resembles a checkerboard, Each puzzle piece has six tabs and two notches. Their sizes vary slightly depending on their placement on the chair. Additionally along the outline of the chair the exterior tab of the puzzle piece is sliced off. Five pieces, three black and two white, are scattered on the floor behind the chair. The multiple pieces which make up the whole fit together seamlessly.
