Great, John Gillon, Jacaranda wood chair and ottoman on ebay...
Romanian born, John Gillon was a Brazilian furniture maker in the 50s and 60s with a background in Fine Arts and a degree in Architecture. Perhaps, best known for his work in local Brazilian hardwoods. This use of organic materials used in a highly engineered design style, takes furniture to fine art level. This chair reminds me of the bridges designed by Santiago Caltrava:
Puente del Alimillo made for the expo '92 in Seville.
I had no idea that all of the Jacaranda trees that are coming into bloom this time of year all over L.A. with their sticky, but beautiful purple blooms, were a beautiful hardwood
