Library chair

Our Library Chair is a contemporary re-edition of the study chair created for the university library in Chandigarh.‎ The chair has a cane lattice seat and a solid teak back rest.‎ A single cross bar or brace lends support to the back legs.‎ The backrest in our edition is one notch lower than the top of the side frames, an aesthetic detail we liked in certain vintage models we studied in Chandigarh.‎Finishes:We offer this product in a choice of Natural Teak or Dark Stain.‎ For Natural Teak finish, the wood is sanded to smoothness and transparent wood polish and sealer are applied with a soft cloth to bring out the natural golden brown colour of teak.‎ For Dark Stain, a coat of teak stain is hand applied to give the wood a darker, deeper shade.‎We offer a choice of two types of cane weaving patterns for this product - Diamond weave and Cross weave.‎ Diamond weave is more robust and marginally more long lasting than Cross weave.‎ We recommend Diamond weave, especially if usage is expected to be high.‎ We also recommend using a seat pad to increase longevity and prevent accidental breakage of cane strands.‎ With care and good usage, cane weaves can last for several years without any breakage.‎Project Chandigarh is our homage to Indian Modernism, a style and philosophy of making that manifested in Chandigarh in the 1950s.‎ Our re-editions's of these mid-century designs use the same craftsmanship and philosophy of making that was used for three decades in Chandigarh.‎ The nuances and details that make these designs special – finger joints, curvatures, grooves – are retained while improving the pieces structurally and materially.‎ The natural rattan cane used for the seats and backs are peeled and woven by hand, by highly skilled weavers just like in the vintage pieces.‎ Подробная информация от производителя о LIBRARY CHAIR Phantom Hands
