Wendell Castle is an artist who designs uniquely looking and uniquely useful furniture. The pieces are highly stylized and comprised of flowing shapes and forms. As a maker, he used creative tricks to solve his design difficulties, such as using many smaller pieces of wood to create an object that looks like it is carved from one large piece. Each of his works is useful to its owner, sometimes they even have two uses. Some of his chairs have attached tables that can be used by the sitter or by someone in a separate seating area. He also created a chamber in which someone can seclude themselves with an attached light to signal their presence. His works highlight the craft used in their creation and exemplify the making process.
