  1. Appalachian Adirondack Co. Nathan Barnhart and Scott Kuntz

  2. Ultimate Outdoor Enthusiast’s Reading Chair Appalachian Adirondack’s mission is for comfort and nature to coexist. What better furniture is there to observe nature, than a reading bench? An eco friendly bench accomplishes both the green production goal and also emphasizes the outdoors. This will be a versatile chair strong and comfortable enough to be taken from in home use to the great outdoors!

  3. Preliminary Sketches and Ideas

  4. How much weight would the chair need to support? How wide/deep must it be to comfortably seat someone? “Men: Height (inches): 69.3 Weight (pounds): 195.5 Waist circumference (inches): 39.7 Women: Height (inches): 63.8 Weight (pounds): 166.2 Waist circumference (inches): 37.5” http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/bodymeas.htm Test Subject # 1 Width: 20 in. 2. Weight: Between 200-500 lbs Research and Investigation • How tall is an average seat? • “For the occupant's feet to rest flat on the floor with a knee angle of 90–100°, locate the seat 16–18" above the floor.” • How tall and what shape should a back-rest be? • “Slant the back up to 5° for a formal chair and up to 15° for a casual chair.” http://www.woodmagazine.com/woodworking-tips/techniques/must-have-measurements-for-comfortable-seating/

  8. Why Choose Appalachian Adirondack? Not only are we producing products made from eco friendly materials but our chair’s purpose truly coexists with nature and emphasizes its importance. At Appalachian Adirondack we want to provide quality and long lasting products. We minimized the use of tape, due to its poor adhesive longevity. Because of this, all major stress points rely solely upon cardboard for strength.
