Barry Mays - Wild ChairsChair Gallery

I only make about ten Wild Chairs in any given year. It takes time from conception to creation – much more time than I sometimes like to admit. They project remarkable presence in most spaces, and my clients say
that they enjoy looking at them as much as they do sitting in them.

“Barry Mays has perfected the fusion of nature with art. His Wild Chairs – each entirely unique – capture all the random natural forms of growing trees while still providing comfortable sitting positions. Graceful, stylish and always intriguing, Barry’s work is a conversation piece in its own right”.
