In keeping with the artisanal re-editions of the period—a blend of folk art and tradition with understated modernity—they combine a frame with beaded uprights, turned crossbars, and sturdy, comfortable woven straw seats. Their corner configuration makes them clever pieces: they can be placed against a wall, frame a fireplace, or, together, create a charming tête-à-tête. with their beautiful honey patina, even turning, and tight straw weaving, this decorative and practical duo is ideal for adding character to an entryway, living room, or chic country house.
