Judson Beaumont is always searching for new ways of looking at furniture. For the past 26 years, he has designed many whimsical and animated-looking pieces. One of the things Jud hasn’t created much of is chairs. While looking at the club chair, he thought: what if an arm chair didn’t need all of that extra bulk? This led to the design of the Hollow Chair.
Jud believes if you can draw it, you can build it. To build this piece efficiently, the Hollow Chair became his first design that relies on computer programming. “We redrew the original sketch,” says Kyle Huinink, the programmer, “and then used mass-manufacturing techniques to bring automation into our line of custom furniture.” According to Jud, “Even though we are known for creating one-of-a-kind pieces, we could never have made the Chair without this technology.” It took over 670 pieces of CNC cut Birch to construct it.
The Hollow Chair takes the classic club chair shape and gives you the potential to make it your own.
