Knapp, Robert

Robert Knapp enjoyed early training in art and music. He is a computer tech in the workaday world. He is a life long reader, and keeps abreast of the latest in science , so it  makes perfect sense that his chair this year would grab a classic idea and mix it with science and art to create this “stem punk” classic.   Luckily his carpentry skills, creative problem solving, and research talents could support this complex project. He is an exhibiting member of the Peninsula Art League, generally working in oils. He has been known to go out in the field to paint en plein air with his wife, Anne (who helped with upholstery and stenciling).

If You've read HG Wells “The Time Machine”, you'll recognize this handsome chair with all the accoutrements for traveling back and forth in TIME!  What conversations will this encourage when friends or grand kids visit? The main chair is practically a THRONE- comfortable seating  in tufted crushed velvet. The chair is removable from the “brass” time sled (3' wide by 6' long) for daily seating.  The Time Machine components are modular and easy to store when you need to stay in the present.
