Create your own designer chair with Studio Yann Gandon (August 30-31)

Create your own custom wooden chair!

Unlock your design potential and build from start to finish

This workshop is designed to immerse participants in the realms of design and basic woodworking. 

The exercise entails crafting a chair within defined design and material boundaries, including the use of a

square section, specific tools (miter saw, drill and sander), and the restriction to straight cuts, along with

assembly using screws and glue. 

By adhering to a structured design process, the objective is for participants to not only engage in the practice but also to

depart with a tangible project – a chair –representing their journey through the creative and constructive aspects of the workshop.

The essence of creativity and the design process lies in these constraints, forming the focal point of exploration in this workshop. 

Designer Yann Gandon will guide you throughout the process.
