Phantom Hands TANGĀLI Upholstered teak chair

INODA+SVEJE created the TANGĀLI dining chair with the intention of making a big and spacious dining chair.‎ In addition to the version with woven cane seating, they decided to design a version with an upholstered seat for high traffic environments and for customers who preferred a softer seating experience.‎ The backrest retains the signature wrap around cane pattern of the TANGĀLI collection.‎ Just like the cane seat version, the upholstered version comes in two variants - with arms and without - and can be used as a dining chair or as a desk chair at a study table.‎ Its curved backrest makes it comfortable to sit on for long periods of time.‎ The seat upholstery is available in the light cream 'Taboga Dove' cotton - linen fabric seen in these images, or a selection of colours from the cotton - linen blended Andaman fabric family.‎ Having seen the level of skill and dexterity of our cane weavers during their first visit in 2017, INODA+SVEJE pushed our weavers to make patterns that are not traditional to Indian furniture that is now the signature style of the TANGĀLI collection.‎ The contours of the pieces in this collection are completely shaped by hand.‎ We decided to name the collection after the cool monsoon breeze that accompanied their visit to Bangalore - TANGĀLI means cool breeze in the Kannada language (spoken locally in Bangalore where the Phantom Hands workshop is based).‎   Further info from manufacturer on TANGĀLI Phantom Hands
