Its distinctive high fan-shaped backrest, gracefully curved arms and airy openwork construction create a light, sculptural silhouette while offering surprising comfort.

Entirely handcrafted from bent rattan with contrasting wrapped bindings, the chair showcases the natural beauty of the material and the artisanal techniques that made rattan furniture so popular during the Mid-Century period. Its warm honey tones make it equally at home in a modern interior, a sunroom, a covered terrace or a bohemian-inspired living space.

Lightweight yet sturdy, this chair can serve as a lounge chair, occasional chair or decorative accent. It pairs beautifully with both vintage and contemporary interiors.

The chair is in good vintage condition with an attractive patina consistent with age. One small decorative rattan binding is missing on the upper back (see detail photo). This minor loss does not affect the chair’s stability, structure or overall appearance. See less
