A chair for life

A simple chair that is both stylish and comfortable? Yes, there is such a thing - designed and built by content creator Pierre Bolmér aka The Swedish Maker. Get the free building plan here!

They say that it's hard to make a really good chair, and that's why you hardly ever find videos of people making a chair themselves. Pierre, aka "The Swedish Maker", wanted to change that and has designed a chair that can be made with accessible tools and still looks stylish. Included are the CARVEX PSC jigsaw, the DOMINO Joining machine, the TSC 55 Plunge-cut saw, the OF 1010 Router and the ETSC 2 Eccentric sander.

"A chair is more than just an object to sit on. It stands for community, for togetherness, and the better the chair we sit on, the more we enjoy the time we spend together."

The Swedish Maker

In an easy-to-follow step-by-step video, Pierre builds his chair from American walnut wood because his wife doesn't like it, so he can keep it all to himself, but any other wood can be used, according to personal preference.The construction plan lists the materials and tools used and gives useful tips.

The finished chair is impressive, simple yet modern and a real designer piece. You can watch the whole process from the first sketch to the finished project on Pierre's YouTube channel, and you can download the construction plan as a free PDF here.

Have fun building your own chair!
