These chairs date from the 1950’s, a simple classic farmhouse shape with a beautiful woven cane lattice seat. Please note these chairs feature the original cane seat. Cane seats are extremely beautiful and robust but must be used with some care. Our workshop checks the condition of all cane seats before dispatch to ensure they are strong enough for normal household use, not for heavy duty contract use. Please take care when using and avoid sharp or protruding objects in pockets. We regret we cannot guarantee the longevity of cane seating and as such it falls outside our returns terms.

The process of steam bending beech to create elegant chairs was discovered and developed by Thonet, but when its patents expired in 1869 many companies including Luterma launched production. Luterma was one of the brands marketed by Estonian factory A.M. Luther which was founded in the late 19th Century in Tallinn. Luthers production was principally in Estonia but they also had factories in France for local market production. At the time of the Bauhaus movement Walter Gropius and Marcel Breuer worked with the factory to develop various models.
