I found an old office chair on the side of the road and decided to give it a second life. What started as a plan to rebuild it into a modern chair took an unexpected turn when I realized the frame would make a perfect side table. This build is all about listening to what the project wants to be instead of forcing an idea. I’ll show how I transformed discarded furniture into modern fine woodworking, complete with a custom walnut inlay made from handmade veneers and real metal accents. Sometimes the best designs come from the moments when things don’t go as planned.
