His urge to create, combined with his broad range of interests, results in a great diversity of products and collections. All pieces are hand-made in his studio in Eindhoven (NL).

This chair is like a rough three dimensional sketch. Seen through your eyelashes the shape and proportions of this “prototype” show you how the production chair would be like\. But there is no cleaned up and polished model. This one chair gives you a glimpse of what could be, a fully functional chair that looks like a start of something\.

The materials were selected for their shape, not fort heir look. The seat is meant for upholtery and therefore way rougher. The overlapping pieces of veneer on the seat, but also the wood used to create the curved legs, give this EYELASH chair its characteristic look.
In his studio in Eindhoven, Tom Frencken decided that the design proces for this chair stops here.
Unique, honest and beautiful in its own special way. Signed by Maker See less
