This Bilge Lounge Chair is made from reclaimed bourbon barrel staves and recycled fire truck leaf springs. First, the natural char of the staves is sealed, preserving\u00a0the deep, smokey tone of the seat and back. The seat is then mounted on a spring base, providing comfort and resilience. The Bilge Lounge Chair is hand made to order in Uhuru’s studio in Denver, PA\u2014this one was completed in 2021 by Greg (Woodworker) and Ed (Metalworker).<\/p>\n
The Bilge Lounge chair was introduced in Uhuru\u2019s early days when the co-founders dismantled reclaimed bourbon barrels into individual staves, metal hoops, and circular heads. They then explored how\u00a0each part could be combined to create unique contemporary designs while retaining each part\u2019s characteristics. This use of salvaged parts spawned the K\u00fcpe Collection<\/a> and a new dialogue within\u00a0Uhuru\u2019s process of narrative design and demonstrated the beautiful potential of material applications.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This Bilge Lounge Chair is made from reclaimed bourbon barrel staves and recycled fire truck leaf springs.
