Scalop Chair

The curved rails that’s connects the legs to the scallop structure is the same parabola as the scallops and gives a beautiful profile from the side – they both physically and aesthetically hold the design together.

Etymology
The modern derivative scallop in old English is the word ‘scēalp’, which then became scalop from the French word ‘escalope’. This shellfish was the symbol of Aphrodite and St James the Great and was used both as a vessel to drink from and a symbol of pilgrimage; a divine path to transformation and unity.
