A lounge chair built around a backrest laminated and veneered over a form — sculpted by hand at every joint, comfortable enough to read in for hours.
The Dione is a study in how far traditional joinery can be pushed toward a soft, contemporary silhouette.
The backrest is laminated and veneered over a form, building up thin layers into a smooth, continuous curve that wraps the sitter without any visible join. The arms are sculpted by hand from solid stock, narrowing as they meet the front legs and rounding off in the hand.
The seat is slatted to keep the chair light in the room — visually and physically — and to let air move through it. The whole piece is finished in a soft hand-applied oil that brings out the medullary ray figure characteristic of European oak.
The Dione photographs differently from every angle — the front reads as a quiet vertical, the side as a single sweeping curve. Studio photography, 2025.
