LUI 5A Hand Caned Gray Lead Leaf Armchair composed of Pentagons

About the Item

Introducing a timeless classic with a contemporary twist—the wooden chair that pays homage to the early 1900s, showcasing the iconic Wien straw seat in a modern light. This chair is not just a piece of furniture; it's a reinterpretation of tradition, where classic techniques are executed with unwavering fidelity and mastery, bringing a touch of the future to the past. Through a visionary lens, the traditional curved and soft shapes of the original model have evolved into simplified and crystalline forms that elegantly multiply in space. The pentagonal shape takes center stage, becoming the fundamental unit of measurement for the entire structure. This geometric motif is meticulously repeated, from the leg section to the panel construction that forms the seat, back, and armrests. In a captivating lead leaf finish (also available in gold leaf and silver leaf), this chair is a masterpiece that effortlessly blends the richness of tradition with the sleekness of modern design. The single cane weaving adds an element of craftsmanship, enhancing the chair's visual appeal and providing a touch of organic warmth.
