Replica of an 18th Century Folk Chair in Stone

The riddle; What weighs more 100lb of feathers or 100lb of stones? gives us the answer in plain sight but in the familiar logic of the materials, feathers and stone, we are tricked.

This chair is a replica of an 18th century Swedish folk chair I found listed on the 1st dibs auction site.

I constructed the chair in pine, mimicking the joinery from the original, and laminated the surface with vinyl peel and stick flooring tiles and nailed a grid across all surfaces.

The chair is filled with stones, which makes the chair almost immovable from the weight.
