Brian Boggs has been building chairs since 1982, when he was a French and philosophy student at Berea College in Kentucky. In this interview with Brian, we discuss his design process and how he balances form and function in his pieces, particularly his Sonus chair, a purposeful chair designed for guitar players. We also discuss the design process behind functional items such as his Lie-Nielsen spokeshave and his shavehorse.
