Seat and Backrest
The chair features a continuous, gently sloping sling design that follows the natural curves of the body. Instead of upholstery, the seating area is composed entirely of a tightly woven natural fiber that provides firm yet breathable support.
Armrests
The broad, sweeping wooden armrests are the defining characteristic of this chair. They extend forward and expand into large, flat, circular platforms complete with a raised wooden lip.
Legs
The chair rests on sturdy, arched wooden legs that give it a low, grounded profile. The curved nature of the legs softens the overall silhouette of the piece.
Stretchers
The front legs are connected by a classic, turned wooden stretcher. This crossbar features traditional ring turnings, adding structural integrity and a touch of classical elegance to the lower frame.
Craftsmanship
The chair is a testament to traditional artisanal skills, merging expert woodworking with intricate hand-weaving. The solid wooden frame is carved with smooth, sweeping lines and finished with a warm, natural polish that highlights the wood’s grain. The turned detailing on the front stretcher demonstrates precise lathe work. The weaving itself is impeccably tight and uniform, securely anchored into the wooden frame to ensure longevity and prevent sagging over time.
