About the Item

Accent chair with fantastic character from the islands of Scotland. Truly a statement piece. Ships from Philadelphia. More history: The orkney chair design has a heritage stretching back hundreds of years. Originally designed to be a simple, functional piece of furniture, it was created from materials gathered from the natural environment of the islands. Orcadian crofters were resourceful people. A lack of natural woodland in Orkney meant they had to scour the shoreline looking for driftwood to transform into small and sturdy chairs. Some were even built entirely from straw collected from local fields, with only the four legs being made from wood.
