About the Item

Contemporary interior design refers to the style of the moment, which means it is constantly evolving with time. These low chairs are about recognizing beauty in humble simplicity while showcasing exceptional craftsmanship. Low chairs have been common around Asia for centuries. These types of chairs, like the Japanese “zaisu” or the traditional Indian “Pida” chairs have very short or no legs at all. These chairs are inspired by these predecessing traditional seating types while displaying a contemporary touch. This is most apparent in the smooth look that makes them appear just as much sculptures as functional furniture pieces. The quality of woodworking is exceptional and so is the respect for the material; the wood is left in the focus of these chairs, displaying its natural qualities, including the naturally occurring cracks. In this aspect, these chairs can be understood through the wabi sabi philosophy, a concept that motions us to constantly search for the beauty in imperfection and accept the more natural cycle of life. This philosophy is very much relevant today, in a world that is riddled with high-stress levels, fast-paced living, and unrealistic pursuits of perfection. At the same time, the design is very streamlined with a lacquered finish that smoothens the raw surface of the wood. The peculiar shape of the backs and the circular seats are decorated solely by the stunning grain and pattern of the wood. The short rectangular legs are connected in the front and serve a more functional role. As demonstrated by these chairs, hallmarks of the contemporary design style include clean, curved lines, natural materials, and attention to quality. An ethos of intentionality is the focus of this aesthetic point of view, which extends to an appreciation for quality materials and artisanry. Condition: In good vintage condition.

Late 20th Century Anglo-Chinese Chairs with Caned Seats, Europe 1980s

Located in Utrecht, NL

The influence of Chinese design on the West has been subtle, almost by osmosis, but we can see references in much of western art and design. Much of Europe has long had a magpie tradition of taking from the different cultures it has come into contact with in its past, furniture being no exception. Similar to European Chinoiseries, Britain formulated an Anglo-Chinese style that copied Chinese models yet adhered to British fashions affecting furniture design. The resulting aesthetic is quite unique and has evolved much in the past decades as demonstrated by these armchairs. These solid, exotic wood chairs...
