The richly toned rattan frame features the iconic geometric fretwork back — diamond lattice detail over vertical spindles — with wrapped joint accents throughout that speak to classic craftsmanship. The stretcher base echoes the fretwork motif, giving the piece beautifully consistent detailing from top to bottom.

The drop-in seat has been professionally reupholstered in Kravet’s iconic “Wild Thing” fabric — a lush, tan-and-brown leopard print that plays perfectly against the warm tortoise tones of the bamboo frame. The result is a chair that feels at home in a maximalist dining room, a chic bedroom corner, a sunroom, or as a statement accent piece.

The frame has been lovingly restored and is sturdy.
