ARMLESS DINING CHAIR
Teak chair without armrests
The ARMLESS DINING CHAIR is a contemporary re-edition of chairs first made for student hostel rooms of the Punjab University in Chandigarh. The chairs have ‘V’ type flared triangular legs supported by two flat crossbars. Cut grooves at the back of the chair hide the exposed weaving knots partially. The natural rattan cane is peeled and woven meticulously by hand.
Wood finish: Natural Teak / Dark Stain / Z4 Walnut/ Black Finish
Weave type: Diamond Weave / Cross Weave
Project Chandigarh is our homage to Indian Modernism, a style and philosophy of making that manifested in Chandigarh in the 1950s. Our re-editions's of these mid-century designs use the same craftsmanship and philosophy of making that was used for three decades in Chandigarh. The nuances and details that make these designs special – finger joints, curvatures, grooves – are retained while improving the pieces structurally and materially. The natural rattan cane used for the seats and backs are peeled and woven by hand, by highly skilled weavers just like in the vintage pieces.
