Product description

Our library chair is a contemporary re-edition of the study chair created for the Chandigarh University Library. The chair has a cane mesh seat and a solid teak backrest. A single crossbar or brace provides support for the hind legs. The backrest on our edition is one step lower than the top of the side frames, which is an aesthetic detail that we liked on some of the vintage models we examined in Chandigarh.
Finishes:
We offer this product in color natural to choose from Teak or dark stain. For the Natural Teak finish, the wood is sanded smooth and a soft cloth is applied with a clear polishing compound and sealer to bring out the natural golden brown color of the teak. With Dark Stain, a layer of teak stain is hand-applied to give the wood a darker, deeper shade.
For this product, we offer two types of cane weaving patterns to choose from - diamond weave and cross weave. Diamond weave is stronger and slightly more durable than cross weave. We recommend diamond weave, especially if heavy use is expected. We also recommend using a seat pad to increase durability and prevent the cane strands from accidentally breaking. If used carefully and well, reed weaves can last for several years without any damage. The Chandigarh project is our tribute to Indian modernism, the style and philosophy of creation that manifested itself in Chandigarh in the 1950s. Our reissues of mid-century designs employ the same craftsmanship and manufacturing philosophy that has been practiced for three decades in Chandigarh. The nuances and details that make these designs unique - wedge joints, curves, grooves - have been preserved, while improving the structural and material elements. The natural rattan cane used to make the seats and backrests is peeled and woven by hand by highly skilled weavers, similar to vintage pieces.
