I’ve had this idea for a while now… Do a three panel totem using the three bent plywood panels of an entire Eames Lounge Chair. It was just a matter of acquiring all the matching panels. Once I had those in my possession, it was just a matter of making it a reality. Below are some shots of the process…
Sontos Palisander panels have been stripped.
Designs are then transferred to the panels by mean of the “cartoon”.

Laying in the paint. One stroke at a time.
I crafted a frame to support all three panels.
The final totem… Air, Sea, Earth
