Woven Wicker Bird's Nest Chair in the Manner of Isamu Kenmochi, Europe, ca 1960s
About the Item
There are relatively many forms of lounge chair designs, and among them, the “bird’s nest” types are the cosiest. This model, in the manner of Isamu Kenmochi’s world-famous design, offers visual and functional comfort, premium materials and craftsmanship.
This woven wicker lounge chair has an exceptional tight weave and internal concentric circles of support. The wicker curves in concentric circles to form the body of this lounge chair. The basket-style seat appears as if it was carved from the wicker and is inspired by nesting birds. The single seat includes a thick, upholstered cushion, making this the perfect nook for curling up with a good book. This model is a collaboration between an exceptional craftsman and a designer, similarly to Isamu Noguchi’s and Isamu Kenmochi’s bamboo chair. With its organic shape and body-hugging design, this chair is a great example of mid-century modern’s principles: matching human skill and ingenuity with natural materials, functionality, and of course, quality. Thanks to the tightly woven wicker, the structure is much sturdier than the delicate bamboo basket chairs, while keeping the cosiness of a bird’s nest.
The execution of the wicker structure praises the craftsman and dominates this lounge chair’s design. The sizeable body is sure to stand out in any space, and its organic form and materials, complemented by the stylish, circular cushion, is a timeless design.
