Mary Marsh: Hand-crafted Contemporary Furniture | Gallery | Motopas Chair in English Walnut

The inspiration for this three legged chair came from a small stool brought back from Zimbabwe, the back of which had been carved out a halved tree trunk with a hole made for the seat and back leg which were also carved out of a single piece of wood. The curve of the two front legs in my version was inspired by the graceful curve of the human back as it runs down from shoulder to thigh. All the pieces for the legs have been steam-bent and then shaped by hand.
