Here is the latest piece of furniture to come from the shop of Oxford Woodworks LLC. This chair is an adaptation of Charles Rennie Mackintosh's "Curved Lattice Back" chair from the Willow Street Tea Room. I've changed the height from 48 inches to 63 inches and made the seat 10 inches deeper (from 16 inches to 26 inches). This change not only made the chair more imposing but it's new scale now fits the huge room in which it will reside. The "Super Sized" or "Mackintosh on Steroids" chair, because of its seat depth, is now much more comfortable for sitting and reading a good book. I have loved Mackintosh's furniture since I first made two copies of the "Curved Lattice Back" chair in the early 1980's - and hope he doesn't mind the artistic license I used while creating this chair.
