Red Oak Lounge Chair And Ottoman
The Oak Lounge Chair and Ottoman are part of a living room collection. The back on this chair is made with a solid piece of Red Oak, giving it a serious slab effect. The top of the seat is 16 inches high; the back, at its highest, is 30 inches. The cushion is 25 inches deep, leaving room for a pillow. The dense cushion on this chair is 6 inches thick. That, combined with Herculite webbing instead of a slab base, makes it a very comfortable chair. The ottoman has the same quality construction and Herculite webbing and can serve as additional seating.

Meet the Maker
Steven Heymans
Heymans Design
I design and make furniture that I like, and would want in my home. Most of the furniture that I make starts with wood, as I love the look and feel of serious wood, which is why most of my pieces have a clear finish on them.
Two major influences are the prairie style of architecture that I grew up with in my parents home, but also the Bauhaus architecture of my alma mater in Central Minnesota. I spent too many hours sitting in Marcel Breuer chairs, in a Marcel Breuer-designed library, pondering the design rather than writing that Brittish Lit. paper.
Central Minnesota is a good place for one who loves modern; it is also a very good place for someone who loves wood. I have a handful of sawyers within a 45-minute drive from whom I buy my wood--mostly Red Oak, White Oak, Walnut, and Cherry.
