fun with a lounge chair

weve been making these lounge chairs for a few years while now ... weve made more than 20 of them and ive lost count mpw.  this ones got a new twist though ... ah! ..  a pun!   sorry, it just slipped out 

heres a link to the video

one of our clients is building a new house with a really nice fireplace on one wall and a killer view on another wall .. they thought it would be nice to at times be able to face the chairs in either direction .. after a couple of failed attempts with somewhat substandard commercial swivels and a failed first prototype, we made the prototype in the video, which, as you can see, works slick.  if you have a side table though, itll clear that out as it spins, so you may need an attachment to provide highest and best use.  more photos as we get the real cushions and apply the finish ...

after considering several commercial swivels, we decided that since the mechanism would be somewhat visible, we would have to build our own.  we used the same hardware as on the swiveling bar stools. well be adding another curved element to cover the steel support system before we do the finishing ...  i think that will add some additional interest to the front view too.

on the porch (with optional green canvas covers)

 

i have a rocker like the one above for sale (scroll down)

and i have 3 in my office.  i think of them

sort of as mid century adirondack chair adaptation

we also do a narrower ladies version

and we also do something similar with a metal frame. ..
lots of napping possibilities ...
