The design concept for this piece was to build a chaboo with the approach of Miracle Factory’s classic “Simpleton.” The piece carries a unique contrast from traditional furniture constrution to more modern sleek designs. All the wood is reclaimed and is finished with a waterbased low-VOC stain. It is built from Japanese cedar, hemlock, and mahogany.
