CROSS EASY CHAIR
Teak easy chair with armrests
The CROSS EASY CHAIR is a re-edition of a lounge chair model designed for use in reception lobbies in Chandigarh's public buildings in the 1950s. The chair has symmetric X (cross) assemblies that form a unified leg and armrest. The armrests and seat are inclined upwards and parallel to each other, giving the chair its distinct look. The backrest is bowed, inclined at a comfortable angle and thicker than the backrest of the V leg EASY ARMCHAIR version.
Wood finish: Natural Teak / Dark Stain / Z4 Walnut
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.
