The C3 Swing- Contemporary Craftsman Contemplation Swing

This handcrafted porch swing was created for a beautiful craftsman style home with a modern interior. We wanted to respect the architecture of the exterior of the home while greeting people with the idea of blending modern and traditional styles and preparing them for the juxtaposition awaiting beyond the front door. The swing is hand shaped from solid Sapele hardwood, whose rich golden red tone lights up when treated with a natural linseed oil. The wood, when protected from harsh UV light and maintained with oils will continue to glow and in contrast, when left alone, will gently fade to a greyer aged patina.

The swing is constructed with an exceptionally strong technique called loose tenon joinery ensuring a strong and supportive swing. Hidden brass fasteners and stainless steel rope loops will endure the weather. The seat gracefully embraces a gentle curve, while the slight angle of the back invites indulgent daydreaming in comfort.
