The CRAFTY PALLET chair was part of the Coral Gables Museum exhibit “Palletcraft”, curated by Eric Peterson and one of the fourteen student projects in display. The project started as an experiment to test curvature and joinery utilizing only the wood acquired from shipping pallets. After the process of dismantling the pallets, the wood was then sized according to the design and joined together with only wood glue and nails. The moment joint between the seat and the backing is held together by the interlocking of the evenly spaced members that construct each part. As an additional reinforcement and finishing treatment, certain surface areas and small gaps were filled with coats of an amber colored resin.
