An undulating chair formed from a bent and molded birch-faced, light chestnut-colored plywood seat, and a curvilinear, sand-colored bent birch frame. The wave-like seat panel starts with a back-curved head rest descending on an angled plane to the bottom of the spine before heading up to bend at the knee area and descend slightly at the calf. The seat is supported by a curved frame which stretches backwards to a cross bar and supports the back legs, forming a trapezoidal shape. The arms are formed from two undulating bent-birch strips which mirror the curves of the seat and are joined to the back legs.
