Adam Goodrum - Molloy
"Molloy is a solid timber chair composed of 8 elements that seamlessly jigsaw together. Each component is individually created on a 5axis CNC (computer numerically controlled) milling machine.
The design intention was to create a chair that would compliment the Molloy table, be incredibly comfortable and would stack but would not read as a stacking chair. It was important for me to create complex organic elements that would be challenging to make by hand but could exploit the technology of a 5axis CNC to make multiples.
The name Molloy is derived from Molloy Island in South Western Australia where two rivers run into one river then run in to two oceans, it is the only place in the world where this occurs. Molloy Island sits in the middle of these different directions of interconnected water. The Molloy chair components are accentuated by the contrasting grain directions where they meet to become one.
The colour variation in American tulipwood gives a further opportunity to accentuate the different components. It is a beautiful timber to work with, tight grained for the machining and very stable – perfect for the Molloy chair, 8 machined parts glued together."
