The inspiration for Stripped came from the fact that I’m honestly not a very tidy person — my chair is always piled with clothes until it can no longer be sat on. When I started this project, I truly had no idea what I was doing. I filled dozens of pages with sketches, trying to figure out how to turn this “peeled wood” shape into something actually buildable, then I discovered the structure was unbalanced — because, at first, the two curved parts of the chair were completely symmetrical, unlike the final version, where they’re invertedly symmetrical relative to the central wooden board. After readjusting the form, I arrived at the final version you see now.
