The Lotus Chair's sling gives a hammock-like support that allows one's heartbeat to generate a gentle rocking motion. The solid steel frame provides a springy motion similar to a rocker.
From 1969 to 1979, Daniel made over 300 pieces of furniture. He then moved on to other projects until 2009 when Scott and Joanna Nadeau of Ten10 Designs in Los Angeles approached him with an interest in his furniture. With their inspiration he reestablished his workshop in Santa Cruz and since that time, with the help of his son Samuel, has remade several of the original designs and created new ones as well.
