Crafted from natural rattan, the chair features the classic high fan-shaped back with intricate woven detailing, elegant scroll arms and a distinctive twisted pedestal base, giving it both visual drama and excellent structural strength.

The Emmanuelle chair rose to fame through its appearances in popular culture, most notably in The Addams Family and the cult film Emmanuelle. As a result, it is commonly referred to as an “Emmanuelle” chair in France and remains one of the most recognisable and sought-after rattan designs of the 20th century.

This example is particularly well made and notably heavy, reflecting the quality of materials and craftsmanship. The level of detail throughout the weaving is excellent, from the patterned edging around the backrest to the finely constructed seat and base. The chair is in superb condition, with all rattan intact, tight, and free from damage, making it both decorative and functional.

A removable seat cushion is included, providing added comfort while complementing the natural tones of the rattan.

Perfect for creating relaxed, bohemian beach house interiors, this Emmanuelle chair brings effortless style and warmth to any space. It works beautifully in a conservatory, where natural light enhances the woven rattan and creates an inviting, tranquil setting for reading or relaxation. Whether placed in a sunroom, coastal living area, bedroom, or styled corner, it evokes laid-back luxury with a hint of 1970s glamour, making it an ideal statement piece for interiors inspired by natural textures and easy living.

A timeless and stylish addition to any home, this piece is perfect for those who appreciate iconic design, as well as interior designers looking to incorporate a bold and elegant focal point into their projects. It would also make an exceptional prop for weddings, photoshoots, and events, or for use within retail spaces, boutique hotels, salons, or hospitality interiors, where its instantly recognisable silhouette adds character, drama, and visual impact.
