The chair is distinguished by its generously proportioned, architectural construction. Multiple lengths of bent bamboo form the sweeping arched armrests and substantial legs, while the tall reclining backrest is meticulously executed in closely woven rattan. The continuous curves of the frame give the chair a particularly expressive silhouette when viewed from both the front and rear. The warm honey-colored bamboo has developed an attractive natural patina, emphasizing the organic character and craftsmanship of the piece. Its wide seat, high back and gently reclined position provide a comfortable and relaxed seating experience. A wonderful example of the sophisticated use of bamboo and rattan that became characteristic of Italian interior design during the 1970s, combining Mediterranean leisure aesthetics with strong sculptural presence. The chair can be used with or without the loose seat cushion. For a more contemporary appearance, new upholstery of the existing cushion can be arranged upon request in a fabric of the buyer’s choice.
