The front legs, seat frame, and rear legs of the Twisted back chair have the same forms as those of The curving chair, but with the stile twisting from the middle section, rising as if to encircle the back. From the rear legs with their elliptical cross-section, the stile traces a gentle curve while twisting inward, like a tree in nature twisting as it stretches its branches.

This yielding a gentle feel for the backrest and visually enables an expression of beauty like a sculpture carved from a single woodblock.
