Clementine, Spa chair by Samuel Bernier

This was my first piece of furniture ever and I'm quite proud of it. It is made of reclaimed maple that I worked myself at school with the help of the workshop teachers. This transat is perfect for spas, pools or reading corners. The bottom compartment is ment to store towels. One interesting caracteristic of the seat is that it flips to become a cradle for young children to play with. this is the process I went trough to produce the first Clementine chair.

You should be proud. This gives me an ideal for some saplings I have to clear out. Hmmm.... saplings, cordage..camp furniture?

Nice work!
