Art Nouveau Tamworth Chair

This chair was one of two designed and built as part of an installation of clerical furnishings for the sanctuary of a Unitarian Church. Design motifs consist of highly stylized imagery suggesting upraised hands interlocked in a knot, symbolizing the unification of faiths. The design also builds on the values of spiritual focus, economy of design and structural integrity. The hand-hewn texture of the carved seat emphasizes the 'truth to materials' that was part of the credo of the arts and crafts movement.
