Western Larch

description

OSSA is the result of a third year collaborative design project together with Krystin Clarke. The brief was to create an occasional folding chair in solid wood that could be used both indoors and outdoors. We were provided with Western Larch for this project, an indigenous wood species that is well suited the climate and outdoor environment.

The folding chair OSSA is an occasional dining chair designed for use both indoors and outdoors. It is constructed to evoke surprise and delight with an expressive folding motion through its center spine. OSSA is the Latin name for bones which tributes the fifty bone elements required for the spinal hinge and equally points to our inspiration of anatomy and Canadian wildlife such as venison or wild goats.
