The use of turning in the creation of this chair echoes one of the skills of traditional Cypriot craftsmen. American cherry is a timber that is relatively easy to turn, and Argyrou also chose it because it is one that is used in Cypriot church furniture. She liked its warm colour which still allows one to see the elements of the workmanship, unlike the dark colour of walnut, another traditional timber, which tends to obscure the details.
