Adirondack Chair, modern take on a classic

[Khader]

The History of the Adirondack Chair

Thomas Lee first worked out the design of the chair around 1900. Vacationing at his family’s house Stony Sides, along with some 22 relatives, he set about designing a truly conformable outdoor chair.

Nailing boards together on the front lawn, he asked other members of his family to test prototypes and tell him which were the most comfortable. With this research as a guide, he built a chair with a sloping seat and back. Each chair was made from a single pine board and with the wide armrests that became a hallmark of the Adirondack style. His chair was an immediate success.

I visted the Adirondack regin in Upstate NY this summer and I was inspired to create a modern version In SU and eventually build a real one.
I like it simple design and consruction.

Thanks Khader, for sharing that, you've done good job. It's really simple and good design.

as this is your design and not a specifiable item, this thread has been moved to projects.

thanks

I like it mate, I always wondered why this chair in its many slight variations had never been modernised.

Here's the chair... well, a little different actually. Nice design, I like it. First time I ever hear about this Adirondack Chair story.
But your model is sooooooooo large for such simple geometry. Would be good to check it and upgrade the above model. Thanks! :D
