The neighborhood pub bought oh-so-inexpensive chairs from China, only to find that they have a bad habit of collapsing unexpectedly.
I was hired to develop an alternative, and to my surprise they liked the Modern design that I'd been playing with. Here are the first four chairs for the Brown Lantern!
Hard to see the finished chairs, but the seat is wooden, and the back is naugahide and cushy.
