Richard Riemerschmid Chair

While you're at the de Young Museum, take a look at this chair from the Arts and crafts exhibit.

Notice the triangulation offered by the curved diagonal. This serves to strengthen all four legs and the back. And by curving the wood, the seat remains a more 'open' area.

Made in 1899 from walnut.
