Slatted Construction
The back, seat, and armrests of the Nisarga are built with a slatted layout: evenly spaced timber strips, each one finished and visible, running horizontally across the seating surfaces. The spacing allows air to circulate, which matters in warm climates and makes the chair comfortable for extended sitting without the heat retention that upholstered seats produce.
The slats are not decorative. They are the structure. Each one is load-bearing, jointed into the frame, and finished to the same standard as the outer frame members. Seen from the side, the chair reads as a series of clean parallel lines held in a solid wood frame — a composition that looks considered without trying to.
The Adjustable Footrest
The footrest extends on a hinged mechanism built into the front legs of the chair. It locks at multiple positions, so the chair can be used upright for reading or conversation and reclined fully for rest. The adjustment is made by hand, with no separate lever or hardware component visible on the exterior of the chair.
When folded in, the footrest sits flush with the chair’s front profile. The mechanism is concealed within the wooden structure, which keeps the chair’s appearance consistent at any angle.
