Phantom Hands
EASY ARMCHAIR
Teak armchair with armrests
A re-edition of the EASY ARMCHAIR - a comfortable lounge chair with signature compass legs - originally designed for offices and residences in Chandigarh and Ahmedabad. This re-edition is handcrafted using material and techniques similar to the production methods used in the 1950s. The cane seat and back are made of natural rattan cane, peeled and woven meticulously by hand. Structural enhancements have been made to make the chair robust for contemporary usage.
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.
