RECLINER ACCENT CHAIR

Designer & Fabricator: Ashlí Marino Watson

Materials: Birch plywood | Cold-formed steel

Methods: CNC fabrication, woodworking, metal bending


The Reversed Recline Chair is a hybrid seating study that reinterprets the traditional sunbather form by shifting its orientation and support logic. Combining bent steel structure with CNC-milled wood components, the design explores tension, balance, and ergonomic inversion—creating a sculptural accent chair that supports the body in an unexpected reclined posture.

Scope
Concept development, CNC fabrication, woodworking, metal forming, and prototype assembly.
