Sturdy oak construction ensures years of practical use while attention to details means this chair will age gracefully. In a tilt toward practicality, the seat is easily removed for re-rushing or even upholstering. The rush pattern on the seat is made up of four evenly-sized triangular panels.
The pairing of the oak structure and the woven rush seat is an organic and stylish mix of materials that gives this chair a charming vintage look.
Impressive in its simplicity, this chair carries with it the same beloved modernist characteristics applied to American, Scandinavian, and Italian mid-century design – simple, functional – and shows the rustic side of design of the era.
Made in Mexico, the aesthetic is defined by the high ladder wavy backrests with six horizontal slats. The slats have a gentle “wave” shape with a rounded top. This structure creates an airy and rhythmic look that is further complemented by the chair’s legs’ stretchers. The overall design of this chair is reminiscent of the Shaker style. Based upon ascetic principles, Shaker furniture is recognized by clean, smooth lines, simplicity of design, high quality and excellent joinery.
The true mid-century design element is the use of rush on the seats with expert weaving that pairs beautifully with the oak bodies, and gives this chair a rustic and organic look. This chair was created by exceptionally skilled craftsmen who made sure this chair is durable, sturdy and functional. The expert craftsmanship and use of oak wood and rush makes this chair a beautiful design heirloom. less
