Rocking Chair —Designed by Jonathon Vinet and JDESIGNstudio
One of one.
This chair is weighty - solid, grounded, unmistakably built to last. Crafted from reclaimed 2x6s, its construction is deliberate: laminated in an overlapping pattern that creates architectural mass. Its profile reads like a bold line that creates the idea of a chair. It is balanced and inviting.
The natural wood grain and visible end grain celebrate the character of the material, while historic traces - nail holes, embedded fasteners, and drill scars - remain unapologetically exposed. These aren’t imperfections, but evidence of a previous life, now reassembled into something contemplative.
Framing lumber is rarely considered a fine furniture material. Yet here, it is elevated - with care, with polish, with purpose. Its softness, often seen as a flaw, becomes a virtue: it records impressions over time - a living archive of use, love, and life. When treated with care, it stays pristine. When neglected, it tells a story, bearing the marks of time.
Finished in beeswax - a natural, breathable, and easily repairable surface - the material is allowed to speak. Nothing is hidden. Nothing is overworked. The chair doesn’t demand attention; it earns it, through authenticity and quiet presence.
This is an object that finds balance - between function and form, furniture and sculpture, intention and imperfection.
This is a functional sculpture - one of a kind, had crafted, meaningful, and built with layered philosophical intent. This is not a mass market item, or even typical custom furniture, it is a meditative object with presence.
