Philosopher's Chair
Philosopher's Chair portrays a lone Adirondack chair at dawn beckoning a passerby to quietly contemplate life’s many mysteries while sitting beneath a Monterey cypress while looking out to an expansive fog-shrouded sea. The fabled Esalen Institute, located on the very edge of the North American continent in Big Sur, CA, launched the Human Potential Movement in the 1960s and remains a favorite retreat for Silicon Valley technology execs, as well as introspective guests from around the U.S. and the world. Here the lawn slopes toward an a vast ocean horizon just before dawn, while framed by the sheltering silhouette of a native cypress. The cool palette and open composition present a calm meeting of sky and sea in a soft, muted line. A subtle, coastal presence that would enhance a living room, study, or meditative space.
