Here we have a metal gray chair. In the frame and almost through the whole chair, it has intricately repeated geometric, diamond-shaped cut-outs through the back, seat, and the legs, making the chair open and nearly see-through. The cuts on the legs and the bottom of the chair back go from small to large, which makes these areas have more of a gradient effect Its four legs are attached by curved arches that create triangular openings between the legs. Its back is rectangular with curved corners and tapers inward toward the seat where the gradient is most prominent. Along the seat is a rounded metal edge.

An armless, legless chair made up of contrasting dark and light wood is fabricated in a continous serpentine cantilever shape. The alternating patten of dark brown and bleached wood bands are of varying lengths. The stripes/bands intersect randomly creating an abstract rectilinear pattern. The multiple pieces fit together seamlessly.

Here we have a white monochrome chair that is one curving unit. Despite a see-through and minimalist structure, it has all the parts of a chair including a back, seat, and support but as a long board that is bent into dramatic arches to create a self-supporting piece of furniture. The top of the chair has a bending back and seat in an L shape form, and the seat gradually curves forward to a front supporting 'leg,' which curves upward into a U shape to meet the bottom of the seat, only to curve downward again to create support in the back. The front 'leg' tapers inward slightly, creating a concave, more pronounced left and right support angles for the front curve. The chair legs resemble a single wave, and the intersecting bands create diamond, hollow repeating designs that create surface support despite its minimal use of material.

Here we have a two-color patterned chair that is one curving unit. Along with puzzle piece design, it has all the parts of a chair including a back, seat, and support but as a long board that is bent into dramatic arches to create a self-supporting piece of furniture. The top of the chair has a bending back and seat in an L shape, and the seat gradually curves forward to a front supporting 'leg,' which curves upward into a U shape to meet the bottom of the seat, only to curve downward again to create support in the back. The chair legs resemble a single wave, and the puzzle piece patterns are rigid wood in appearance but are small and nearly hollow repeating designs that create the feeling of flexibility despite interlocking parts. The front 'leg' even tapers inward slightly, creating a concave, more pronounced left and right support angles for the front curve.

Dramatic, dark red leather chair with brass and aluminum accents. The chair has a curved back, similar to a barrel style chair, but with open, decorative, swirled brass arms. The cushioned seat is flat, with a rounded back, and is supported on a brass-ringed platform with round accents underneath each arm. The legs of the chair are covered on three sides with a smooth aluminum curtain, which is red on the inside and appears white on the outside. The chair's diagonal positioning highlights the cut-outs along the bottom of each side of the aluminum curtain, with stepped contours recalling skyscrapers. Angled, square footings accent the bottom of each leg.
