Bamboo Accent Chairs

Few chairs feel as versatile as bamboo accent chairs, making them an eternal designer go-to. Whether you’re looking to bring coastal style to a dining room or evoke a free-spirited vibe in a child’s room, you’re sure to find something to fit the bill within Chairish’s collection of bamboo chairs. Bamboo has been used for furniture for centuries—Chinese usage dates back approximately 5,000 years—but the material really gained momentum with the Western world in the late 19th century. Victorians revered the decorative look bamboo could provide and used rattan, one of its many derivatives, to craft the era’s iconic Peacock chair.

Add Charm to Your Interiors with Vintage Bamboo Accent Chairs

Today, bamboo chairs are readily available in a wide range of styles. For a room with a Mid-Century Modern aesthetic, consider a bamboo lounger by Franco Albini. The Italian designer utilized bamboo almost exclusively throughout his career, and his bamboo loungers feature curvy, steam-bent frames to dramatic effect. Use any Albini chair in an interior and it’s bound to make a stunning statement. Aiming for a more traditional vibe? Try a Brighton bamboo armchair. Originating in Regency-era England, these bamboo armchairs feature barrel backs and elaborate bamboo fretwork that is vaguely reminiscent of the Chinese chippendale style. Use them to bring island intrigue to a coastal inspired space, or to play off wicker furniture in a child’s room or guest bedroom. In boho chic spaces, try a bamboo swivel lounger in the style of Paul Frankl. These 1970s-style seats conjure up the informality of beanbag seating, but offer up a striking architectural element as well.
